Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test

Do you travel a lot?  Did you ever wonder how fast that hotel connection really was? You might want to add this site to your favorites.

Speedtest.net is a general use broadband connection analysis tool with many geographically dispersed testing servers. If you are experiencing slowness with your Internet connection, Speedtest.net can help you identify and prove it. Your result history is saved so you can compare against past tests to detect trends. Share links to your result images with your ISP and friends.

Speedtest.net initially recommends a server for you based on what the application thinks is the shortest physical distance between you and one of the servers. However, because the Internet does not actually operate in direct paths, this recommendation may not be ideal. To best utilize Speedtest.net, find the server that provides the fastest and most consistent results and set it as your preferred server. This will turn it into your new recommended server. Test against this server frequently to make sure you are getting what you pay for from your ISP!
