1st. I Am Familiar With Netspeed Monitor. Is There One That . . . .

I am used to understanding up and down in megabits per second. XXmbps. I have looked at all the options you can view speeds in NetSpeed Monitor. Mostly it's a bits thing. Is there any that shows the speed such as seen on on a regular browser speed test.

Gracias! Appreciate any knowledge you might pass along. jack ":-}

 

Two things you can try:

1. Glasswire firewall:

If you really just want to verify the speeds you are getting from speed tests, I recommend this site:

2. https://testmyspeed.onl/site/speedof-me/

This site I have found far more reliable and true to circumstances than SpeedTest.net for one.

Also, HWiNFO shows session ul/dl using the "sensors only" option when opening the program...

 

And thank you. I will check them out. My request for an eye-glance visual is because I have been having trouble with Comcast since everyone has been home. Using tons more devices at one time. Sometimes when I think I'm running slow it might just be I have too much memory allocated. And sometimes it might be the speed, although that's been better lately. But would be nice at least for my purposes to be able to glance at the tasktray and know for sure it's good speed or slow. Thanks! I'll try them all! jack ":-}

 

HWiNFO has a gadget that works in Windows 7. Not sure if it works in W10. If you remember desktop gadgets, this one is a superb one. It shows internet usage at a glance in the gadget. There are probably some gadgets dedicated solely to this purpose, but, again, I'm not sure of the status of gadgets in W10. Found this which indicates gadgets are not available for W10:

Maybe you can find a W10 desktop monitor app for net usage.

 

You might try Rokario network monitor. It's for W7 but it might function in W10 (maybe in compatibility mode). Try Google->Rokario network monitor download...

 

If you want to use gadgets, try this.
