As a tool to verify our service to you, we have included a few simple steps below for your to test your DSL connection speed:

  1. Click here to download test file.

  2. After clicking this link, a pop-up window will appear asking "What would you like to do with this file?"

  3. Select 'Open It' or 'Open this file from its current location'. Hit OK.

  4. On the status line you will notice a number in parenthesis. Example: (at 34KB/sec)*

  5. Verify your DSL speeds are 34KB for DSL Lite, 90KB for DSL Prime, or 175KB for DSL Pro.

  6. If speeds are significantly lower, please contact HickoryTech Internet online click here or by phone at 866-HICKORY or 507-387-1151.
    * Modem and network speeds are measured in kilobits(k), as opposed to computer files whose sizes are measured in kilobytes(KB). When a file is being downloaded, the speed is reported in kilobytes/second, because this is the unit most people understand.
