Just found this site that check your bandwidth on your internet connection for Free

See how fast your connection really is and report back how it is compared to the speed you are supposed to be getting

Here`s another www.speedtest.net

I tend to use http://www.Speedtest.net - have just tried http://www.skyuser.co.uk/tools/speedtester.php and was a little surprised by the results!

with Skyuser: download speed is 1328Kbps
with Speedtest: download speed is 3938Kbps

They were run 1 after another with no other apps running- that is quite a difference!

I pay for Virgin Media 4Mb- so I'm either getting what I pay for, or am being ripped off! (Have used Speedtest.net for a while now & always seems to give the speed I expect to be getting)
