They all come up with different results which ever you try, speedtest.net is also one I use.
Goggle a few to estimate an average, don't believe any single one just use your average as a guide.

QUOTE(The weatherman @ Nov 23 2008, 03:11 PM) I find this a useful tool when things seem to be running a bit slow, once you get a benchmark for your connection it helps you to see if its your computer or if your connection that is slow. http://www.cnet.co.uk/misc/speedtest/ just click on start  is this a good connection for download? |

This trick is also useful for finding out if you're getting good service from your ISP. Mine advertises at 7mbps, look at my results. Perhaps there's a lot of people on right now...

 I got 2856 on the speed test at cnet and now you can see this one at speed test. I "think" the difference is because of location of where the speed test is .(?) I do know this, that upload is rather slow for my liking, the download is what I expect for the tier that I am paying for. --------------------   SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM TO KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT AND NOT TO DO IT, IS TO BE WITHOUT COURAGE........CONFUCIUS |

It always depends on server location, quality and traffic. Note that 1665kbps is a very fast upload, as you mostly need upload to send requests.

cnet first said that it was on 900 Mbps, then went up a bit after a few tries, and stabilised around 1900. it jumped back once and got up again.
 Should it really fluctuate that much? |
