How do I go about finding out how much bandwith my connection has? I always have sites (usually streaming media sites) that ask how fast my connection is (in kbits). I have no clue and would like to find out.

 

preferably if there is a site that does this (accurately), that'd be great!

 

side note - didn't know where exactly this fits in so I put it in comp sci

nice site... my download speed is 706 kbs and my upload speed in 128 kbs. Is that about normal for a DSL line?

This is for the comps at school lol, they have crazy UL speeds...

Too bad I can't connect to any P2P programs from the school comps

 

I'll check out my home comp later, pretty fast speeds here though
