With all of the talk about connection speed,
here is a site where you can go and test
your own connection speed to various cities...

The test site is part of the Speakeasy network,
and should work on ANY Broadband connection.

My fastest times are from the NYC Area,

You have to look at your results vs the service you are subscribed for.
If they match, or its better, then its good !

Way out in IA I get:

Download Speed: 8331 kbps (1041.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 1386 kbps (173.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

I'm sure after I replace the faulty memory module it'll go faster. Right now I have about 375 MB RAM that are working. :rolleyes:
