I was wondering how exactlyu you check you connection speed. I have comcast high speed cable, and when i go into network connections it says among abunch of other things "speed: 10 Mbps) i find this realy fast. I thought comcast had an upstream of 4mbps.

Here's a nice, free speed test. However, you need Java installed to run it, but there are links to download it on the speed test page.

Just for reference, here's my results from the first test listed above:

 

Your download speed: 2344382 bps, or 2289 kbps. A 286.1 KB/sec transfer rate.

 

Your upload speed: 320688 bps, or 313 kbps.

i found this one to, it gave similar results

It is possible that this is your network (LAN) speed and not your actual internet speed.

i use this speed test thing...easy to use.
