The program is set by default to download a 22MB file from Microsoft, although you can choose other file locations. The purists will point out that what the program actually does is to test your connection speed to a particular server at a particular time of day. In practice, there is no such thing as a fixed internet connection speed, since a range of factors is involved in the speed obtained. SpeedConnect has a nice graphical interface and is a fun piece of freeware to try. Review details • Interface • Features • Ease of use • Value • Recommend to a friend?

COMMENTS: 'Fantastic software! Dear Sirs, About three and a half years ago I moved from South Africa to New Zealand.
Regrettably I moved to an area with no land line connection. Gone was my internet free talking to SA on Skype. Luckily I discovered your program and opted for the fee trial. It works on a 2g connection and I now talk to family and friends.
I thank you very much. A very grateful Dave. ' Dave Elliott, New Zealand 'I have to write to tell you this! I purchased your SpeedConnect Internet Accelerator last night and I have been running tests all day at different test sites! This software is the ultimate accelerator, nothing I have previously tried out even comes close to yours!
I have 5 MB ADSL pppoe Lan and the best I have ever got speed wise is 700 KB's download! Today on all the tests I did I was getting an average of 825 KB's that is an 18% improvement in download speed and uploading speed were proportional!
To me that is phenomenal! I mentioned this to my IP and he was in awe! That was the best investment in software I have ever made! I am an Advance Computer Applications Analyst and testing of software is my livelihood!
Keep up the good work on your product, but truthfully I can't see how it could be improved upon, it is hard to improve on perfection!! ' Carl N Ells, Canada 'I have tried many so-called Internet boosters. They all have been totally worthless. Your product really speeds up my Internet connection substantially. You have done a wonderful job there in CBS, and I would like to congratulate you and your teams for a job well done! I have endorsed SpeedConnect to all my friends here in Helsinki.'
Erat Hairedin, Finland 'I shall not hesitate to recommend your software to my friends and family, both on the strength of the software capabilities and the efficiency of your support. Thanks again! ' Matthew Messom, UK 'Today I downloaded and installed SpeedConnect.
I had been using another web accelerator program but was having problems with it. I found SpeedConnect to work better and give noticeable results.'
Thomas Schiller, Germany 'I was plagued with speed problems with my cable modem since it was installed. Since I have installed and optimized with SpeedConnect, my speed has increased dramatically - anywhere from 2x to 10x the speed I was getting previously.' Andrew Miller, USA 'I am eternally grateful for your product. Worth every penny just in the amount of saved time while downloading or surfing the internet.
