How can I check my internet connection speed?

[NC 5ltr]

692 kbps using a wireless router with the modem about 20 metres away.
EDIT: used the oz test and got 1077kbps using a service providers mirror (iinet)

[NC 5ltr]

just ran the oz speed test again......689.6kpbs......so there is definatly some interference somewhere.

well i just gave the ozspeedtest a go and got

kbps: 3962.1
KB/s: 495.2625
Mbps: 3.86923828125


using the cable test i got;

kbps: 4626
KB/s: 578.25
Mbps: 4.517578125


both are less than half what my plan is and both were using the Iinet mirror which is also my ISP...

I think somebody stated they had 282 on a 1500 connection plan. That's disgusting. Are you with a Veridas ISP? There are some issues at the moment in some areas.

Personally, if that was the best my ISP could do, and all my equipment was tested and given the all clear, I would change to another ISP....in fact, I did!

*NOTE*
I had to add this as a seperate reply to the topic, because I couldn't edit my post after 10 mins WTF!!??

I'm with iinet.

hey buddy you should be getting better than with iinet.. maybe you've got spyware or something choking your net connection??

try downloading Ad-Aware from here;

and spybot from here;

install both and check for updates using its inbuilt updater, then scan your machine.. i wouldnt be surprised if they pick up a few malware things.. Oh and use the Immunise feature of spybot as well

cheers
