I'd be interested in speed comparisons between ISPs.

With some caution, and a few lines of code inserted, it is 
possible to run Carl's speed test on your webserver:

http://www.rebol.com/speed.r

CHANGES NEEDED:
* add a shebang at the very top

* Insert these lines before the /print "running"/
   print "Content-type: text/html^/"
   print "<html><head></head><body><pre>"

* replace the /halt/ with these lines:
    print </pre>
    print </body>
    print <html>
    quit

CAUTION NEEDED:
If you are running on a shared server, then one test may hit a 
busy patch and give you unrepresentatively slow values. Probably 
need to run once an hour or so for a few hours and evaluate the 
range of responses you are seeing.

I can tell you that the last time I tried it for REBOL.org we got 
disk speed values suggesting the drive runs on rusty clockwork.
