    Hi,

    How do I find out if my up load speed is at least 500 kbps and if my down load speed is at least 1.5 mbps?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi

    Try this speedtest and choose a local area to you http://www.speedtest.net/ but run it at least three times at different times of day and get the average speed, do remember you will not get exactly the speeds you pay for as there are overheads to any internet service, but you should at least get within roughly 10% of the reported apid for speed, also do look into your ISP contract as they may say "up to xxx speed"

    Good alternative is http://www.speed.io/index_en.html
