The SG Speed Test

https://www.speedguide.net/speedtest/ The SG Speed Test 0 4/5 stars ★★★★☆ Hans van der Graaf

In general, the SG Speed Test is not a recommended speed test, mainly because this speed test measures too low a speed. Fortunately, there are more accurate speed tests.

 

With an adverstised speed of 100 Mbps and an average measured internet speed of 99.4 Mbps, we conclude that the SG Speed Test is a relative accurate speed test (Accuracy score: 97/100).

The SG Speed Test is a conservative speed test. That is, this speed test measures structural an internet speed lower than the advertised speed.

The SG Speed Test is owned by Speed Guide Inc. (SG is of course short for Speed Guide). Speed Guide Inc. offers this speed test -virtually unchanged- since September 2006!

The SG Speed Test seems to be an original speed test.
