Speed Test

The service at Speedtest.net is excellent. The application is really slick and seems to provide reliable results of connection tests. It is a hybrid solution of Flash and Ajax and the UI is quite nice. (Ads are about the only negative aspect of the site, but they pay bills just like us and I appreciate that the service is free.)

If you are into speed or need a solid way to make sure your ISP is giving you what you pay for, hit Speedtest.net.

Here are some results from my latest speed test:

    It’s sad for me to see those numbers…
    I’m usually under 1800 kbps. Download. :(
    Upload is ~400 for me…

@DennyHodges I wish we still had phrases such as, "Hold on a second, let me get out my stylus."

@danatchison Awesome. I once wasted a few hours tweaking with GeekTool. Fun. May still have some of my scrips around if you are interested.

@DennyHodges If you only had a ThinkPad running FreeBSD.
