Does it take forever for most web pages to load even though your ISP claims that your Internet connection speed is just a tad shy of the speed of light? If so, your lightning-fast high speed Internet connection might not be performing as promised. How can you find out for sure?
CNET has a wonderful tool for measuring the download speed of your Internet connection. It’s called the CNET Bandwidth Meter, and it works like a charm. Simply tell it what kind of Internet connection you have (cable, DSL, satellite, etc.) and the name of your ISP, then the site will measure how long it takes to download a file from their server to your computer and display the results.
Since Internet connection speeds can vary greatly with the time of day, it’s best to run the test several times throughout a 24 hour period, paying special attention to the time periods when you are usually logged on and browsing the web.
