StreamTest
Detect cuts in your internet connection, not just speed
I use apps to watch live sports events, and I frequently experience transmission failures. I wanted to have proof that demonstrated how the internet transmission was failing, not just the result of my internet speed but how it was maintaining bandwidth, and to know if it was the cause of the interruptions and freezes. It downloads a real TCP stream from the server, samples every 500ms to measure the throughput, and monitors if the transmission drops below 2.5 Mbps to detect interruptions.
I built StreamTest because my sports streams kept freezing even though my speed test always looked fine. I wanted to see not just my speed but whether it actually held up during 27 seconds of real data transfer — and where exactly it dropped.
It's free, no signup needed. Would love feedback on whether the chart is useful for diagnosing your connection.
Finally a tool that shows what my ISP actually does during a live match instead of just blaming my wifi. The 500ms sampling caught a real drop I never would have spotted otherwise.
Finally a tool that actually shows the real issue instead of just a speed number. Watching it catch a stream drop below 2.5 Mbps was super helpful for diagnosing my sports stream freezes.
