Spectrum speed test

If you are having doubts about the efficiency of your Internet service provider, than
speed test is the answer to all your doubts. A third party speed test is always a better
choice for the transparency of the speed test as most Internet service providers ignore
routing factors. Speed test should display efficiency of your internet in real world
scenario instead of best case scenario. Moreover, they also eradicate many variables
while testing to hide their shortcomings for example, peering. This is done by sending
you to an internal hosted speed test. That is why, speed test offered by your Internet
service provider is not recommended.
