Peter's original Bandwidth SpeedTest was extremely popular because it provided information Internet users want to know with an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand tool. Alas, the old (1999) SpeedTest format just doesn't look as fresh as it used to, and the old Test lacks some features many Internet users really want . . . Like a way to track the performance of their Internet connection and a way to compare their connection's performance with other types of Internet connections.

So SpeedTest II, better known as MySpeedTest.com, was born. Following the same design principles and objectives as the original Test, MySpeedTest.com provides these extra features in a very cool, easy-to-use, interactive Web page. 

Other SpeedTest advances are more hidden from view. SpeedTest II's server-side technology uses information acquired from user tests to track and rate ISP performance and map out physical zip code locations and connection types for the many ISP POP and head-end locations. 

Collecting this information creates a win-win situation for SpeedTest users and Internet advertisers. Users benefit because this information helps them find out what ISPs offer better performing Internet connections in their area. Advertisers and web site operators benefit because this information pinpoints geographic locations and service capabilities of ISP head end and POP locations, allowing them to target advertising content to their user's likely needs and income brackets. And all of this is accomplished without compromising SpeedTest end-user privacy in any way.
