# Feature Request
Network Speed Detection
## Motivation Behind Feature
It will be very useful for those users who would like to know the current
network upload and download speed in android.
## Feature Description
- Provide the current connected network upload speed
- Provide the current connected network download speed
- It will be useful to replace the usage of google speed test to validate
who much speed is the internet user connected to.
- We can return 0 if the current speed cannot be determined or in cases
where the internet is not reachable.
## Alternatives or Workarounds
We can use the new method provided by android **NetworkCapabilities**
```
ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo netInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
//should check null because in airplane mode it will be null
NetworkCapabilities nc =
cm.getNetworkCapabilities(cm.getActiveNetwork());
int downSpeed = nc.getLinkDownstreamBandwidthKbps();
int upSpeed = nc.getLinkUpstreamBandwidthKbps();
```
This code will help in getting the speed in kbps.
