Internet Speed Test
Have you ever wondered how fast your internet connection really is?  Click on the link above to test your internet speed.

Try the test at different times of the day to help determine the optimal time of the day to surf, or try the test at different locations with different connection types (dial-up vs. cable) to determine the fastest connection speed.

The upload speed is usually slower than download speed.  This is by design of the ISP that you have.  They reserve fast upload speeds for their web host customer paying the big bucks for access.

This test will help you to understand the value of a fast internet connection.  Our internet connection typically runs at 6 Mbps for download and about 360 Kbps for upload, now that's fast!

Thanks to Speakeasy.net for the test.
