[URL]http://www.speedtest.net/[/URL] It allows you to test download/upload speeds, ping test etc. It allows you to compare graphically back to calendar date you select, your download/upload speeds. Put it this way: If my download speed history was a rollercoaster, people would NOT come off the ride alive! OTOH, my upload speed is mostly rock-stady, 2.08~2.09mbps. On a download test where my speed was 8.9mbps, the max was 5.9mbps and the max was 13 & change. And that swing was during just one test! Is it my pc, the cable internet provider, the volume of users/time of day?? -ChrisCoaster.
