What is ITC's Internet Speed/Bandwidth
Test?
ITC's Internet Speed/Bandwidth test measures
the information-carrying capacity, or
bandwidth, between your computer and our
server located in Allen, Texas. Using this
test will give you an idea how various ITC
products will perform that depend on your
internet connection speed. For example, if
you are using InsurancePro Online Storage,
and your Internet Speed is less than what is
recommended, you may notice lengthy delays
while using the program.
What does this utility do?
Once the test is executed, the utility will
download a file to your computer. The amount
of time it takes for that file to be
completely downloaded will be reported to our
servers. Then the utility will upload the
file from your computer to our servers, and
track the time it took to transfer the file.
The results of your test will be displayed,
and you will also be given an idea where your
connection stands compared to various types
of Internet Connections, from dial-up to DSL
and cable access.
Why do I want to use this
test/Utility?
Knowing your Internet speed is important,
especially if you are using one of ITC's
Online Products. This utility might help
explain and troubleshoot speed related
problems that you might experience.
According to the test, I have a very
slow Internet Connection. What should I
do?
If the test result shows that you have a
slow Internet Connection which is not
recommended to use ITC Products, please
contact your Internet Service Provider to
upgrade your Internet Connection.
What can affect the Test
results?
The bandwidth rate between our server and
your computer could be affected by many
factors. Some of the most common are:
- Being outside of the United States or
far away from the location of our
server.
- Performing other downloads at the same
time that this test is executed.
- Executing other programs that use your
bandwidth to monitor resources while this
test is being executed.
- The quality of your line speed. In some
cases users may find noise, which is caused
by electromagnetic energy that degrades the
quality of signals in hard-wired circuits
(that is, telephone lines), thereby
limiting the throughput to the
computer.
