A nice one for diagnostics, but unfortunately less end user friendly than just a number, is Netalyzr. It's a Java applet at http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/ or a jar file that you can download and run at http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/cli.html. A good thing about it is that it generates a weblink to view the report, which a customer can send to you. Go to the site and click the start button, you might be impressed with what you see. Alex
