I reckon that many people are uncertain of the speed of the Internet connection. Some people never bother to check on the speed of the internet connection. The ISP’s are supposed to ensure that they deliver the same speed that they assure us while obtaining the connection. But many fail to do so and the customer never happens to notice it unless he frequently tests the speed of the connection. I use the Airtel 256 kbps unlimited connection and I find that my transfer rate fluctuates between 28-32 kb/s which is quite normal. It is recommended that you check your internet speeds quite often and you can do so with a lot of tools available on the net. Given below are a few sites that will help you to determine your Internet speed.
