01What it does

Invalcre SpeedTest measures your internet connection in Zimbabwe from the browser, with no app to install. Press Start and it measures ping, then download speed, then upload speed, with a gauge that moves as each stage runs. Beside the result it shows your IP address, provider, location, connection type and the jitter on your line.

The speed a provider advertises and the speed a line delivers are rarely the same, and the gap matters when choosing between a mobile network, fibre and a satellite service. SpeedTest ranks ten Zimbabwe providers by their average download speed in recent tests, so you can set your own result against the network you pay for and the others on offer.
