Re: Testing Internet Speeds and Capacity

At the moment the market is competitive and clients are getting
various different offers from different competitors.Thus you find them
enquiring about speeds hence need to check on the speeds.

onsite engineers too need to be able to test and provide accurate
results.thus need for a tool that can provide accurate results.
