is there any handy app or tool for checking your current networkspeed? or what your max may be.. i'm having this dodgy feeling my provider is cheating me..
There are a lot of websites that host internet connection speed tests, but they can produce widely varying results. If your own provider offers a local test it may well be the most accurate.
Here in NYC the cable service has of late become insufferable, often crawling to a standstill for periods of minutes to whole days. I wonder whether this is due to recent fiber optic upgrade work or the deluge of virii and worms recently plaguing the net.
It would be interesting to hear from others both here and around the globe if they were experiencing similar disruptions in service.
