Are you fast enough?

[spietreser]

Hey there,

I know there are a whole lot of people in this forum who spend their days online. Just wondering how fast (or slow for that matter) everyone's internet connection is?

If we all test our speed in one place we can compare our download streams better: http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

If you run the test more than once, clear your cache every time for more accurate results.

Greetz,

Here is another test internet speed site you might try to compare 2 different methods for testing your speed (yes, it's my site)

P.S. I know this part of the post is a bit off topic but if you are also interested in possibly buying a site like this the information link is here (please excuse the annoying spider web)
