Owners of Windows Phone 8 devices can now download and install a new application on their devices, namely Speedtest.net, which has been available for other mobile platforms out there for quite some time now.

Through the Speedtest.net app, users can easily determine the network speeds they can obtain on a wireless carrier’s network, or on a Wi-Fi connection.

The application already has millions of users, and arrives on Windows Phone 8 devices with the same features and capabilities as on other platforms.

It offers real-time graphs on connection consistency, enables troubleshooting and verification of the speed you were promised, while also delivering detailed reporting for tracking past tests.

Users can also share results with others, while enjoying options such as discovery of Download, Upload, and Ping. Made available for download as a free app, Speedtest.net can be found on this page in the Windows Phone Store.
