how i can test my internet connection speed?

Question

how i can test my internet connection speed?

Answer 1

I've used a couple of on-line connection speed

testers (rather than writing my own test).



The first one is from C/Net:

This second one is from Verizon (which happens to

be my ISP), but as far as I know, this test should

be generic and should work with any ISP:
