NetSpeedy (formerly Speedy) For Mac

NetSpeedy is a Mac OS X application designed to quickly check your internet connection speed: the download and upload statistics, along with other general data will be displayed in a stylish and user-friendly interface.

The NetSpeedy user interface follows the Apple OS X Human Interface Guidelines which helps the application to integrate seamlessly with the system. Within its main window, you will be able to see an animation each time you perform a network check.

The NetSpeedy application comes with very few customization options, but you do get to choose between two color schemes: purple or dark.

At the same time, NetSpeedy is able to work with the Notifications Center and displays alerts each time a check is complete. The message includes details both about the download and upload speeds, expressed in Mb per second.

The NetSpeedy application can provide details about your public IP address, the Internet Service Provider you are currently employing, and the city where the server is located.

Right off the bat, you must press the Start button placed in the bottom area of the main window and NetSpeedy will start analyzing your internet connection. Note that NetSpeedy does not check the connection on its own, so you must trigger the process manually.

After the results come in, NetSpeedy enables you to share the data with your friends via Facebook in an image capture. Moreover, you can share the picture by email, you get to upload it to your Flickr account, and so on.

NetSpeedy does not come with a very complex design or with an extensive set of functions, but it gets the job done: you can see details about the internet connection speed, ISP, and public IP address with a simple mouse click.
