"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.

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.
