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.

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.
