MSU Connection Speed Test

Welcome to the MSU Speed Test website!

The tests below are used to calculate the speed of link between your computer and our server. This measurement is achieved by sending you a specific amount of random data. The transfer is timed by your browser, and the results then calculated based on the transfer speed.

To test your speed, choose one of the following:

• For a DSL or Cable connection, or a wired or wireless LAN connection, select one of the buttons below. The larger file sizes will generally give a more accurate result.
   
  
• For a dial-up connection, select one of the buttons below. The larger file sizes will generally give a more accurate result, but may take 2-4 minutes, depending on your dialup connection speed.
   

Note: You must enable Javascript on your browser in order to use these tests.

After your results are posted you have the option to report your results to our logs. We strongly urge you to do this as the data that is gathered can be used to help us fix any problems that we can, and hopefully make your network experience a better one.

If you have more than one browser on your computer, you may wish to try the test on each of them, as the speeds can differ with the browser you choose, particularly if you have a high speed connection. Our results under most Windows operating systems show that Internet Explorer generally shows better performance figures than Netscape or Mozilla.
