What is it?
StreamTest.net is an easy to use streaming media utility for broadcasters and audiences alike. Ultimately it measures the audience’s streaming experience. The results of that experience can be used to troubleshoot any problems with the end user’s favorite stream. StreamTest.net was created by the same people that run NetroMedia.com, a global CDN. StreamTest.net is the perfect stream testing tool developed using the latest cloud scaling technologies along with over a decade of streaming media experience.
