Most of the speed test things I've found were Flash based and inaccessible. A brute force way to do it would be to download a reasonably large file from a known fast service and time it. One possibility is downloading the AOL Mac installer from here:
http://free.aol.com/tryaolfree/dnld_aol/aol_sell.adp which is 18.6MB. So if you download it and it takes 10 seconds then you know that you're getting around 1.8MB/s. I also found a site that does something like this and presents the results as HTML text so it is accessible: http://us.mcafee.com/root/speedometer/default.asp CB william lomas wrote: > hi is there an accessible site for us voiceover users, to gain our > speed tests for our internet connections? > Will > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
