Few apps test the efficiency of your net connection like streaming video. YouTube’s Video Speed History feature tells you how well your ISP stacks up.
The page tells you the average speed for connections from your ISP, your region and worldwide, which means it won’t necessarily be a good representation of your own experience, but it’s an interesting figure nonetheless. There’s also a chart showing how that speed has changed over time. Globally, the average speed is 2.9Mbps.
You can only see speed stats for the connection you’re currently using — which means, as I’m in the US right now, I can’t see how my Australian ISP rates. Tell us how your connection does (and if you think it’s acceptable) in the comments.
