as I understand, speedtest.net is more accurate, but it's a bit more 
involved to get started. there is a graphical "begin" or "begin test" smack 
dab in the middle of the home page that you or someone sighted needs to 
click on. as a JAWS user, you can OCR the window (insert+spacebar, o, w) and 
navigate to and click on "begin". note JAWS will speak in a deeper tone 
(Rocko voice) to let you know you're in a virtual window. after a while 
you'll get the download/upload readings. just look for them. the readings 
may not have a label as to what they represent, but they are there.

If you're using a wireless connection, you may find something in the
system tray that tells you the speed of your network connection. But
understand this doesn't have anything to do with your Internet speed.
Rather, it tells you about the connection between your computer and your
router or modem.  It's the speed of your in-house network, or how fast
you could move data between your computer and another computer on your
network in your home or office.

If you want to know about the speed of your Internet connection, I use a
site that works fairly well with JAWS.

www.testmy.net/download for download testing, and www.testmy.net/upload
for upload testing.
