Interpreting Your Results

Our test determines the time it takes to download a large file to your PC and reports the resulting bandwidth in kilobits per second (Kb/s). A number of factors may affect bandwidth, so you may have to retest several times to get the accurate results.

However, in general, if your Transmission Speed is roughly 85% of the rated connection speed for your modem or device, you're receiving acceptable throughput. Of course, if you're sharing a connection, you can't expect to get the full bandwidth.
