So, in order to figure out what speed I presently have, I visited a few sites. One site that seems user friendly enough is http://www.speedtest.net/.

The site reported 1100-1800kb/s DOWN and 80-128 kb/s UP depending on the time of day. I randomly chose the Dallas, Texas site server for the test. Other US sites were similar. Test to the UK was slightly lower, and Pakistan was much slower.

Would be interesting to me to know what your speed test shows to the same server.
