To test the connection speed between your wireless Internet connection and the Hoosier Broadband data center, please follow the following procedure:

• Please close any other Internet applications

• Right click on the link below and choose "Save Target As" or "Save Link As"

• Download a 3 megabyte file from a server with a fast Internet connection.

• A popup will appear asking you to begin the download

• Click "yes" and watch the progress meter and look at the "Transfer rate"

• You can save the file to any location on your computer and delete it after downloading.

This will tell you the speed you're getting in Kbytes per second. To calculate the speed of your Internet connection, multiple that number by 8. For example, if you get a Tranfer rate of 200KB/sec, multiplying it with 8 gives: 1,600 Kbps.

There are many factors which can affect the speed of your connection when accessing a website outside of the Hoosier Broadband network. Some of these factors are the bandwidth on the remote server, the speed of the server and the number of simultaneous connections. If you need more help, please contact Hoosier Broadband support.
