With an adverstised speed of 100 Mbps and an average measured internet speed of 99.2 Mbps, we conclude that the TestMy.net speed test is a relative accurate speed test (Accuracy score: 96/100).
The TestMy.net speed test is a conservative speed test. That is, this speed test measures structural an internet speed lower than the advertised speed.
The TestMy.net speed test is owned by TestMy Net LLC. The TestMy.net speed test is created in 1996. It is therefore the oldest speed test that exists.
TestMy.net is tested twice in 2022. In the first test of 2022 it was concluded that the results of TestMy.net where unrealistic low (36 Mbps while the advertised speed was 75 Mbps). Hence this speed test was not recommended.
However, the second ultimate home network test of 2022
showed that the results matched the advertised speed nicely.
Clearly the accuratesse of TestMy.net is better at higher speeds.
The TestMy.net speed test is an original speed test.
Pros
What testmy.net does well is:
- giving you the option to test just your download speed
- making it possible to select a dark mode
- showing you the minimum, middle and maximum speed including the middle variance
- allow you to share an image of your speed test results
TestMy.net has an unique technology and a nice progress indicator during the test.
Cons
This TestMy.net speed test has the following cons:
- At lower speed (lower than 100 Mbps) TestMy.net isn't that accurate
- There are ads
- A lot of cookies are placed
When to use TestMy.net
If you just want to know what your internet speed is, then give TestMy.net a try.
If you want to ask your ISP what to do to get the advertised speed you have to test properly.
Preferably you use the speed test from your ISP and perform this test on several days.
Keep in mind that your home network is usually the bottleneck.
