This is known to be unreliable.

The only way to be sure is to download something in the background from a
site that is up *permanently*. Or try a couple of sites. Measure the time it
takes to DL the file and divide by the fileSize for a first-approximation at
average connection speed. "getStreamStatus(netID)" can help with this.
