Interesting...
The site you linked reported my speeds in SE Pennsylvania based on their
Newark, NJ server:
6.91 Mbps down
13.3 Mbps up
A moment later, <http://www.speedtest.net/> reported based on their New
York server:
57.46, 58.43 Mbps down (two tests)
32.68, 32.81 Mbps up (two tests)
I wonder who to believe?
I do seem to be able to stream HD video without jaggies or dropped
frames, so I'm leaning toward speedtest.
The link you provide only requires Adobe Flash and has nothing to do
with this thread. The link I provided was to demonstrate a java *and*
flash requirement. Speed testing is subjective & is anyone's choice -
sort of like Windows AV's...
As noted upthread, I offered the alternative test to show that the
linked test was not accurate. I don't know if that's poor coding or
what, but a test of Java should use an applet that works, should it not?
Anyway here is another with a java requirement:
<http://netspeed1.stanford.edu:7123/>
See: http://netspeed.stanford.edu/toolkit/

Stanford University Web100 based Network Diagnostic Tool (NDT)
Located at Stanford, CA
This java applet was developed to test the reliablity and operational
status of your desktop computer and network connection. It does this by
sending data between your computer and this remote NDT server. These
tests will determine:
The slowest link in the end-to-end path (Dial-up modem to 10 Gbps
Ethernet/OC-192)
The Ethernet duplex setting (full or half);
If congestion is limiting end-to-end throughput. "

This one also "runs" fine (no error messages or hangs) but grossly
underestimates my performance, which is routinely in the 55/35 Mbps
range. In its detailed notes, it says:
The theoretical network limit is 7.41 Mbps
The NDT server has a 16384.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to
2746.54 Mbps
Your PC Workstation has a 255.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput
to 21.39 Mbps
If I were really speed-limited to 7.41 Mbps, I would be spending most of
my day on the phone kvetching to my ISP, who is charging me for seven
times that. I used to have that slow a connection, and I know the
difference.
