Bandwidth and VOIP

Visualware tests speed and some other things for VOIP quality as well. DSLReports does comprehensive tests, one of which is speed and it also compares it with other users from same and different ISPs.

Most ISPs also offer speed test tools. Optonline.net requires login to do speedtest.

Testing bandwidth with these three indicates that my download speed is pretty close to 12 Mbps and upload about 1.7 Mbps. I expected something higher, Optimum Online Boost is advertised as an upload speed of 5 Mbps and download speed of 30 Mbps. I am certainly not seeing it since the past two months. Time to cancel Boost!
