"Test results are all over the map"
Version: Broadband Speed Test 1.3
Pros
Easy to use but that's about it.
Cons
Totally unreliable and inconsistent.
Summary
I have cable internet. I opened the program, ran the test, and got 9.71 mps. Thought that was low so I ran it again and got 13.72 mps.
Over the next couple of minutes ran it several times and got readings of 19.14, 17.60, 19.47, 22.41.
It seems as long as I keep the program open I get higher readings after the first low reading.
But when I close the program and reopen it I get a reading of under 10 mps and subsequent readings range from low teens to low twenties. -
"Small, quick, easy to use!"
Version: Broadband Speed Test 1.3
Pros
Small download, few buttons so you can't get lost. Simply does what it needs to.
Cons
The Ask Expert button goes to a website that isn't working, but that's somewhat expected on a program that's 5 years old.

"Does what it says tests your broadband speeds"
Version: Broadband Speed Test 1.3
Pros
Simple to use and returns clear results.
Cons
When unzipped creates a file called InstantHelp which is confusing. You can create a shortcut for the desktop but why isn't one included. As with many of these speed test software 'how accurate are the results'. This one seems to give conservative results ie a bit on the low side compared to others.
Summary
If you want an easy to use speed test to put on your desktop you could do a lot worse. I use it to give me quick results but if it shows slow speeds I then check these with another speed tester.

"I scored 4121. I have no idea what that means!"
Version: Broadband Speed Test 1.3
Pros
I have no pros to list!
Cons
Cons are that I wasn't told whether my rating was good or bad!
Summary
It was fast at giving the calculation. I just didn't know what it meant. There were no recommendations one way or the other, either!

"Does what it says."
Version: Broadband Speed Test 1.3
Pros
Ran scans quickly with no problems. During first boot I was able to select what I wanted to open files with. I set it Firefox and it just opened my results in a tab for me.
Cons
None that I've found.

"Quick and easy to use."
Version: Broadband Speed Test 1.3
Pros
Very fast in determining the speed up and down quickly
Cons
Separate window to give the results. I would be nicer to return it to the current screen/window.
Summary
It is really helpful in showing the speeds quickly and it is amazing how the speeds can differ over a few minutes time. It would be nice to have the app show an average over 7 or eight tests.
