Take note that most typical web based speed testers using basic scripting or
html will not give you accurate consistent results.
The reason is the web server OS (Apache or IIS) software itself can not
respond fast enough with accurate timing to the system clock.
A speedtest is pointless if not accurate.
In most cases the Speed test must be written in something like Java. I'm not
stating what languages are and are not fast enough, just feedback that the
issue exists.
This is the reason that we pulled down the 3 or 4 attempts that we made to
make a speed test. You might not notice this when testing speeds under 1
mb,. but you will when testing above 1 mbps speeds. also take note that many
web based speed tests do not take in concideration certain 1 time delays
that might me unique to a wireless connection, and report misleading
results.

someone on the list help me?
http://www.gambitdesign.com/bandwidthmeter/ is a decent one. It tests
download only.
You can run something like Qcheck (google that one) or use Mikrotik's
bandwidth tester (there is a windows client).
If you are looking for a "fancy" version, you can license the one from
http://www.ookla.com/speedtest/. That's a pretty expensive option,
though.
