Hoekstra Bandwidth Speed Test http://computingcentral.msn.com/topics/bandwidth/speedtest50.asp How many times have you heard someone complain that their Net connection was too fast?

The results of this free test should be taken as anything but definitive. That being said, it's free, and it's a great way to get a good idea of how fast (or slow) that data is really coming down the pipe.
