First have a look at this service.
http://webservices.cnet.com/bandwidth/
(Remove space if there are any in the URL)
What it does is send packets to their server and calculates the speed and therefore you supposedly know your bandwidth.We have an ASP based web application. Tell me is it possible that we can implement such thing on our web site from where client can test their connection speed in case they are having difficulties?
I know there are utilites / tools to test connectivity etc. But using the above service fromn CNET no one has to install any software first & then test the connection speed. Its just clikc ‘n’ Go
The idea is that if someone complains about speed or slowness in connecting to our application, wecould ask that person to click the button or link which is located perhaps somewhere at the top near the main menu, and it would calculate the bandwidth. That person could then report this information to our support personal so they could troubleshoot it.
Looking for your ideas on this….
