Check ur mobile broadband connection

There are hundreds of tools available to test broadband speed of the internet broadband connection that you are using, but most of them work with just the computers and no other web browsers like mobile phone browser etc. To check the broadband speed that your mobile phone browser can pull up, here is a good testing tool -
Mspeed by dslreports.com
This is a very simple tool which is made for your WAP browser of mobile phones, and tries to download a file of small size, to test the speed of broadband that you are using.
We attempt to convince your mobile device to download a measured amount of data, compare this to minimal data, and calculate your effective latency (time for one request) and effective download speed.
Just open the site from your mobile browser and you would see a screen -

Then you need to select the file size, 1kb, 50kb or 100kb depending on the speed you expect your internet to be. There are bigger file sizes too, but you may get that option when they notify that the size is too small for the speed of internet connection. Generally a 50kb selection is ideal, select that and it would proceed to the file download -

The speed might be higher usually when checked through the computer but the capacity of pulling the broadband weight in mobile is usually lesser.
The tool also displays the IP information, DNS agent, browser etc. information if prompted to do so.
