About 5 years ago, broadband internet connection was just a dream for normal people as it was too expensive to get one. People used Dial-up connection to connect to the internet and it was too damn slow. Still, lots of people use dial-up connection to browse the web. Not a very practical way to surf the web now a days because websites has been upgraded to suite a broadband connection and included a lot of graphics to make it more attractive. These pages would take a long time to load on a dial-up connection.

Personally speaking, I still don’t have access to a broadband connection. I use a cable connection with the speed of upto 128kbps. Still a lot slower than a broadband connection but a hell of a lot faster than a dial-up. Broadband speed matters if you are downloading huge files or watching videos on the web. 128kbps is still not enough to accommodate all these things.

To find out the speed off your broadband connection, there are lots of sites on the web and most of them show accurate broadband speed. This can’t be said to all of the internet speed test sites. You can use this broadband speed test site to test your internet speed. This web application provides very accurate data on your broadband speed. Other than a broadband speed test web application, they also provide list of all the best broadband internet providers found in the United Kingdom. From budget broadband to the fastest broadband available. The information found on broadband expert should help anyone who is getting a new broadband internet connection or trying to change to another service provider.

My cable internet connection is just 100kbps for download and 21kbps for upload. Mine is one of the slowest high speed internet connection you can get. The picture attached on this post is a screenshot of the speed test I did on Broadband Expert. I upgraded it from the last one i had which was just 64kbps. You should also check my archived post on internet speed test. There is another of one of the good internet speed test sites.
