<span style="color: #000000">If you're monitoring your Internet traffic, the best measure is to visit a site like </span>[<span style="color: #000000">http://speedtest.net</span>](http://speedtest.net)<span style="color: #000000"> and run the test whilst simultaneously watching the graph in PeakHour.</span>

If you're not monitoring Internet directly (you may be monitoring your WiFi for example), you can use something like Time Machine or a file transfer from one machine to another to generate the traffic. You can then use the Network tab in **Activity Monitor** to verify the speeds are correct.

Check out the [Usage Monitoring](https://peakhoursupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WIKI3/pages/458775) page for more information on accuracy.
