Which Test

Confused as to which test you should run? Firstly, if the site hasn't already chosen for you, select your ISP's mirror. If your ISP doesn't have a mirror we suggest you use the AAPT mirror. It should provide just as accurate results.

Next step it to choose the image size to test with. We suggest the following:

Test Image	Suitable For
70 KB Test	Dialup
600 KB Test	ADSL, Wireless, Satellite
3 MB Test	ADSL, ADSL2+, Wireless, Satellite, Cable
9 MB Test	ADSL2+, Cable
15 MB Test	ADSL2+, Cable

Q. What is line speed?
A. Line speed refers to how many bits per second your Internet connection can download. This is usually how your ISP represents your connection speed when you sign up with them. For home Internet connections, the speed is measured in kbps (thousands of bits per second) or Mbps (millions of bits per second). An example is a 512/128 ADSL plan, which can download theoretically at 512 kbps and upload at 128 kbps.
Q. What is download speed?
A. Your download speed is directly linked to your line speed. This is typically the speed you will see when you download a file in your web browser. It is measured in KB/s (Kilobytes per second) and MB/s (Megabytes per second), where one byte is equal to 8 bits. Therefore if you are on a 512/128 ADSL plan you can theoretically download at 64 KB/s and upload at 16 KB/s.
Q. What speed should I get?
A. The following table depicts the speed you should be able to obtain depending on which plan you have chosen. Your maximum speed may vary depending on your distance from a telephone exchange, your line quality, the number of users in your area, or connection protocol overheads.

Connection Type	Typical kbps	Typical KB/s
28K Dialup	28.8 kbps	3.6 KB/s
56K Dialup	56.6 kbps	7 KB/s
256/64 ADSL	200/56 - 256/64 kbps	25/7 - 32/8 KB/s
512/128 ADSL	400/108 - 512/128 kbps	50/13 - 64/16 KB/s
1500/256 ADSL	1200/216 - 1500/256 kbps	150/27 - 188/32 KB/s
8000/384 ADSL	1500/326 - 8000/384 kbps	188/40 - 1000/48 KB/s
12/1 ADSL2	1500/700 - 12000/1000 kbps	188/88 - 1500/125 KB/s
24/1 ADSL2+	1500/700 - 24000/1000 kbps	188/88 - 3000/125 KB/s
24/2.5 ADSL2+ Annex M	1500/700 - 24000/2500 kbps	188/88 - 3000/312 KB/s
Uncapped*/128 Cable	2880/108 - 10000/128 kbps	360/13 - 1250/16 KB/s
Uncapped*/256 Cable	2880/216 - 10000/256 kbps	360/27 - 1250/32 KB/s

Q. Why are my speeds slow?
A. There are a several reasons why your results may be slower than expected:

You are running other applications in the background that are utilising your bandwidth and hence slowing your maximum speed for this test. Programs such as P2P, IM, email clients, or any other program that may use the Internet should all be closed when running a test.
Your computer isn't fast enough. This becomes a problem especially with the larger test images, as some computers take more time to process the image and to display it to the screen than they do to actually download the file. Any PC faster than 600MHz seems to be fine (almost all PC's from the several years).
The mirror you are using is either slow or located in the wrong location for you. Try running the test from the AAPTNet mirror. This always seems to provide accurate results no matter where you are located, or who your ISP is.
