Comparison of download speeds
We are looking for volunteers in developing countries to assist us in
collecting data about the relative download speeds of several websites.
We will use this information to assist publishers to make their websites
more accessible in low-bandwidth situations.
We have created a set of short exercises for participants to undertake
with feedback via an Excel spreadsheet (which can be downloaded from
http://www.inasp.info/media/www/documents/Download-speeds-timing-sheet.x
ls
<http://www.inasp.info/media/www/documents/Download-speeds-timing-sheet.
xls> ). Please note there are 4 worksheets in this file. Alternatively,
you can record your results online at
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DYKHQJY. You'll need 2 browser tabs open.
Participants can work through the process recording their results and
opinions. Please comment on any aspects of possible interest in terms
of speed, interface clarity and functionality. While there are numerous
factors which could affect download speeds, this study will provide a
starting point. If you find you are unable to open any files, please
just indicate this in your results.
To try to minimise other variables, all programmes except Excel (if you
are using the downloaded sheet) should be closed before starting this
exercise.
All the best
