Jordan, if you really want to test your connection speed multiple times, so that way you can take an average, and if you want to accuratley check your upstream, try www.dslreports.com

I have cable, and my tests have shown around 1.7mb/s for downstream at good hours. My best was something like 2.1mb/s(which my cable provider[Time Warner's Road Runner] says we get up to 2mb/s), so there's definatley different speeds per testing place. There was one server where it said my speed was 700kb/s! Whoa! That would REALLY suck for claiming you have BroadBand, if that was your actual speed, that is...

DSLReports is giving me 2.7 MB downstream and only 75 kbps up... :( Well, that's still unbelievable compared to my 56k, so I'm not complaining!

I hadn't noticed their connection diary...I'll have to give that a shot. :cool: Right now I'm getting 3281/115 kbps from their servers!
 
Oh, and here is my connection.
Not too bad...

I want cable, good thing is I heard s it only 25 bucks a month now here. But my parents don't care about connection speed, so I'd probably have to pay the idfference if we got it, so I can live with 56K a while longer
