Small networking monitoring tool which sits nicely in the system tray for monitoring current upload and download speeds of your selected network interface.

Sometimes, you're faced with slower speeds or pesky disconnects that can happen at the most inconvenient times. That's where NetSpeedMonitor comes in handy, a monitoring tool designed to help you tackle those pesky connectivity issues.

Now, this tool isn't about spying on your neighbor's Internet activities or anything creepy like that. Instead, it serves as a visual equalizer, offering insight into your Internet connection and helping you spot problems as they arise.

A simple application with a basic user interface

While the app's main screen might seem like nothing to write home about, it can operate discreetly by staying in your system tray until you're ready to activate some of its more advanced options. But even when the app is running, you'll always have the app's toolbar at your fingertips, allowing you to keep track of your download and upload speeds.

Now, it's worth noting that the app's visual appeal might not be up to today's standards since it hasn't been updated in a while. So don't expect anything too flashy or movie-like when using the tool.

A few useful controls for monitoring your Internet speed

But don't let that fool you! Despite its unimpressive appearance, the app's controls are all laid out simply and straightforwardly on the interface, making it easy for even novice computer users to understand and operate. And all of these controls can be accessed through the app's little icon in the system tray.

The bottom line

Overall, if you're looking for a great way to keep tabs on your internet connection and monitor your upload and download speeds, NetSpeedMonitor is a fantastic tool to add to your arsenal. Plus, with the ability to see all the inbound and outbound connections on your computer, you'll have even more insight into what's happening on your network.
