How to test network connection

[holmes4]

I use the speed and quality test here. This has tests specifically for VoIP quality, which is not just speed but also packet delay and loss. Make sure you select a "yellow pin" server to get the full tests.

The good news is that test is great; bad news is my network failed the QOS sub-test. So I won't be trying VOIP any time soon.

@Steve: I like that test. I posted a link to it on my web page. Does anyone have any input as to how accurate these tests are in regards to VOIP service?

@eejake52: While tests are helpful indicators there is no substitutes for a real world test. VOIPo gives a 30 day money back guarantee. Why not give it a try for a few of weeks? That is what I did. If you would be porting a number just hold off sending in the "porting authorization" papers and test with the virtual number you are given. If you are not happy with the service just mail back the ATA and you'll get your money back.
