You do not even need to install any additional software in order to use them as they are run directly from within your internet browser. The tester will tell you the actual download and upload speeds that you are getting. If these are significantly lower than your contract's speeds with your provider, you should contact the customer services department of your cable internet provider and explain to them the problem that you are having, as well as quoting the actual speeds that you are getting. Often the providers will already know of any problems in your area such as maintenance work or cut cables, which could be causing problems not just for your connection, but also other subscribers to the same provider in your area.
