Originally published at Internet.comAbsolute Futurity offers the Speed Test and BBMonitor products, which provide the ability to monitor and test network and Internet connection and transmission speeds and response times.
- Speed Test itself provides a test of the actual maximum speed, monitoring upload/download transfers. It tests your maximum speed by automatically downloading files on a regular basis.
An Alert wizard allows you to perform actions depending on your system performance. The actions you can perform are send an E-mail, play a sound, start or stop logging, run an application, restart your computer and more.
You can view data in line graphs, bar graphs, or SysTray icons; and you can print the graphs. Line Graphs and Bar Graphs can be set to translucent to allow you to see your work behind the graphs. All data can be logged and viewed in graphs or opened in MS Excel.
Other monitoring features include ping testing, Web site downtime/error monitoring, Web site response time, connection time and bandwidth, QoS, Wi-Fi signal strength, LAN/WAN/Home network bandwidth testing, CPU and memory usage, hard drive space monitoring and activity, battery charge, system uptime, virtual memory, processes, and single process memory usage.
Speed Test is offered in Standard, Silver, and Gold versions (contact the vendor for differences between versions). A freeware (some features disabled) version is available.
- BBMonitor provides a bandwidth speed test meter and monitor. It records your bandwidth test results in a database. You can view the bandwidth results real-time with systray icons and/or floating transparent bar graphs and/or the main line graph. You can also do ping bandwidth testing, to test ping speeds and/or to keep your connection alive.Author: Company Rep
