How to Check Net Speed
If you want to find out whether or not you're getting the Internet connection speed advertised by your provider, there are many websites that will let you test your connection for free. Most online speed tests are Flash or Java based and will tell you how fast your Internet connection is when uploading and downloading files. BandwidthPlace.com, SpeedTest.net and DSLReports.com are all sites that offer free speed tests, but you can use any site that you want.
