But for which function? To browse the internet or to reach a specific
server? If for instance you have a b2b site online at a colo and
everybody is logged in on that site all the time, the bandwidth to
that server is by far the most important part.

Sounds like you should try iPerf.

Command Line Interface. Usually DSL modems/routers have a webinterface
for showing the general settings, but if you telnet to them you can
see more options and get to the nitty-gritty details. Especially if
you are under the impression you never reach the speed that the DSL
connection is being sold at having a look at the parameters at the ATM
level can show you a lot.
