VoIP optimization: test the broadband connection speedSaturday, February 11
0 comments
Want to talk over the Internet? Of course, you do. But how fast is your broadband connection? We may find something helpful for you: the VoIP band tester, an applet provided by TalkSwitch, thetelco for US and Canada households. It doesn't take long to load the applet, so you can use it quite often.
The test informs about the number of VoIP calls you can expect to take simultaneously and also your upload rate. The results also yields the simultaneous phone calls at different codec. The more up-to-date codec (understand the best your voice is compressed), the more calls you can make.
The results given to our bandwidth were quite accurate. But because quite suspicious of the results given by one private company, we found other resources on this blog that could confirm the numbers. Here's the list:
- PC Pitstop upload bandwidth test,
- SBC Yahoo! DSL Internet Throughput Test (only worth for America DSL users),
- ADSL Guide broadband speed test (for British), Bandwidth Place,
- McAfee (best-known anti-virus maker) Internet speed connection,
- Leslie Long's modem speed test applet.
If you find other resources, please contact us, we would add them.
