Check your bandwidth and see if you're really getting what you paid for!

That speed test is measuring in bits not bytes. File transfer is measured in bytes, so just multiply the 3.12 megabits by 1024 and then divide that number by 8 to get your kilobytes per second. That should be about the speed you download at.

PS: Nice resource. Add a few more tools and your site could be useful to many others.

Jokez, if you have comcast cable... it is probably pretty accurate. Comcast is now officially running head to head against S Korea in the Bandwidth "speed" wars and have/are in the process of increasing all things cable accross the nation

Thanks

I'm looking for other scripts to add as well as a person to help create an upload speed test script. I'll be adding a layout in a few days; just created that in a small bit of time for fun

(hence the .info domain

)
