Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining a data transfer speed of a telecommunications network including a mobile terminal and a server, the method including: starting a measurement application; starting a user application that transfers data between the terminal and the network; ascertaining a measurement sequence including multiple measured values of the data transfer produced by the user application; transferring the sequence to the server; starting analysis software; determining a data block with a continuous data transfer rate greater than 0 kbit/s and a subsequent data transfer rate that is less than the continuous data transfer rate for at least 2 seconds after the data block; and determining from the data block a period of time for the transfer of a defined data volume and/or a data volume to be transferred in a defined period of time as data transfer speed of the telecommunications network.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a data transfer speed of a telecommunications network, comprising at least one mobile terminal and a server, said method having the following steps: a) installing and starting a measurement application on the terminal in order to carry out at least steps c) and e), b) installing and starting a user application on the terminal, which during operation transfers data between the terminal and the telecommunications network, c) ascertaining a measurement sequence comprising a plurality of individual measured values of a course over time of the data transfer produced by the user application, e) transferring the measurement sequence to the server by means of the terminal, f) installing and starting an analysis software on the server in order to carry out at least steps g) and i).
