NetPerSec measures the real-time speed of your Internet connection. Different types of connections promise different communication speeds, but what are you actually getting? Due to network traffic, actual speeds are often slower than what is promised. Cable modems are fast unless many of your neighbors are sharing the line; such modems can slow down considerably with a heavy load. How do you know when it's time to switch to DSL? NetPerSec lets you check your connection speed in real time. It monitors all TCP/IP activity to and from the Internet or other networks, and graphs the communication speed. Its dynamic tray icon shows send and receive activity with a bar graph or a histogram. For details, open the program's main window to view current and average send and receive speeds in a configurable, graphical display. You can adjust the sampling rate and the amount of data used to compute the average.
