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. http://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html All I had to provide was my zip code. The results were very close. http://www.bandwidth.com/tools/speedTest 34.34 kbps http://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html 32.5 kbps Anne On Monday, September 26, 2005, at 08:35 AM, Marta Edie wrote: > I don't have any trouble with the first bandwith check, and the url > Rex named is ok, too.
