Speedtest: Location-based bandwidth meter

This is not just any other bandwidth meter around. It tracks your location, including your ISP and upstream provider. You choose which server to connect when measuring your bandwidth. Here’s my results for my PLDT myDSL 1995.

Yugatech 728x90 Reno7 Series

It’s supposed to be rated at 1.2Mbps. The connecting server I used was Bayantel. The system also saves a whole bunch of data from other users so you can dig them up, get the average for your area and even compare the performances of other ISPs. This one screen shot report I got the the Metro Manila area:

Text Your Bandwidth

Interestingly, Destiny is topping the charts with average speeds in excess of 1.6Mbps. That’s almost twice that of the runner up, PLDT.

Should be really useful when people move houses or something. They’d be able to get the average performance of an internet provider in that location.

    too bad destiny internet doesn’t have yet in Pasig area where I live. I have been with Destiny since 1999 and I have to bid goodbye effective April 1. And I have had really good service with them. I started out at 2000 pesos in 1999 and it came with a free cable TV connection.

    Globe broadband at 1 mbps is now installed at my new home . Fast naman. If it is consistent, I might upgrade to 2 mbps. I got the Globe Broadband buget bundles and at 1450, I get a free phone line and 1 mbps with router (I can do wifi too). PLDT DSL promo is useless in my place as there are no phone lines available. Smart Bro and Globe Broadband installed within days of application. In fact Smart Bro installed in less than 24 hours. Haha I digressed.

    It’s not that accurate though. I tried it on two DS3 lines and it kept saying that it was only 5mbps.

    I also blogged about this last August. To get the best results, you have to connect to the server that’s nearest to your location. My test results are here.
