Official Speedtest.net App for Windows Phone 8
Speedtest.net is the most popular free online service to check your broadband internet connection speeds and the results obtained using this test are really good. Speedtest.net also has mobile apps for Android and iOS to check the 3G speeds, but was missing out on Windows Phone. Not anymore, Speedtest.net has launched its official Windows Phone 8 app to check the speeds on your phone.
The app is available for free download from the Windows Phone app store. The app has a good interface and shows the ping, download and upload speed.
Under Settings, you can set the location or server from the settings and also display the speeds in Mbps or Kbps. It displays External IP and Internal IP. This section can be used to turn of location access if you prefer to do it every time you run the app.
From the results page, you can see the past results or your test and sort them based on all the factors available. Each of these can be accessed to find out details like Network, IP Address, Upload / Download Speed, Ping Time etc. You can also share the results to social networks using the default Windows Phone share options.
Live Tile Support : If you pin the app to start screen, you can see the last test result which details out upload and download speed. It also supports all the three size of the live tile. The Largest Size displays Ping, Upload, Download while the medium tile does not have Ping and the smallest one doesn’t do anything.
