How does it work?
StreamTest.net has specifically designed and built a highly powerful and unique steaming test platform that consists of a measuring application and a test results program.

Once the seconds long test has been completed all the data gathered is calculated and rendered into an organized and relevant fashion suitable for the many stakeholders that exist within the streaming media ecosystem.
