What should I watch out for before starting the test?

To ensure that your test results are as accurate as possible, you should ensure the following:

• Data-intensive applications should not be running in the background (eg file downloads, P2P, video streams etc.). Also, you should ensure that no other users are using the same internet access at the time of the measurement.
• If your computer is already connected to the Internet via a LAN cable, please measure over this.
• In the case of a WLAN connection the terminal should be located as close as possible to the router, which should be based in a location with good reception, and if possible no other terminals should be connected to the WLAN router.
• Measurements should not be performed via a WLAN repeater or a PowerLAN / Powerline connection.
• In the case of a limited volume of data, your data volume should not have been completely consumed or should not be throttled.
