This method allows you to get the most accurate idea of the speed of the Internet at the "last mile" - from a given provider or cellular operator in a given region.

The service also evaluates the quality of the connection on a five-point scale and translates the measurement results into an understandable language - say, "you can watch video in 1080p." Additionally, the Internet Meter provides technical information about the connection: IP address, browser version, screen resolution, and so on. It can be useful, for example, when communicating with support services.
The service is available at ya.ru/internet and can be used from computers and mobile devices. In the future, the Internet meter will receive several more updates. He will acquire an application and learn how to keep statistics, and providers and cellular operators will have a personal account - in it they will be able to see measurement data in their coverage area.
The internetometer was developed by the Yandex Infrastructure team, which creates and develops Yandex's internal infrastructure.
