USe a simple tracert cmd to get an ideas what you latency is first. THen use this to see what your inbound latency looks like. I can make a speedtest say anything you want.

Looking Glass - Hurricane Electric (AS6939) Use your WAN valid address

I think this one is good: TestMy.net Broadband Internet Speed Test

Works better on Hughes Net, for me. :thumbsup:

We use the RIT speedtest found at pS-Performance Node - pS-Performance Node For Research Computing @ Rochester Institute of Technology In Rochester, NY USA at work. It works well and shows if there are issues inbetween.

Also, their little icon person icon looks like its peeing, so it apeals to the juvenile side of all of us.

The Looking Glass report is great if you are hard wired all the way. But when the packets move over to satellite or wireless other sites are preferred.
testmy.net seems to be preferred by satellite users. Speedtest.net is good too.

Try ping. Can't get simpler. And that way you can easily go to any site. Or for the command line impaired use a utility like PingTestEasy.

Just ping times dont tell you download/upload speeds..
