Thanks to all who replied. I probably should have mentioned that I'm 
using Safari 1.0.3. I'm as slow as my modem.

http://www.bandwidth.com/tools/speedTest
Keeps giving me the following message along with warning beeps.
        Can?t use JavaScript here
        Cannot run the script ?haveJava()? because Safari does not allow 
JavaScript to be used in this way.

However I kept trying, filling in the required information (which was a 
little more  invasive than I would have liked: Street address and phone 
number) and repeatedly clicking on OK to get rid of the warning message.

And it worked.

However I like the site Rex provided.

All I had to provide was my zip code.

The results were very close.
