Thanks Tony, unfortunately when I go out there and go to my results it doesn't seem that anything happened, do you know how to commence the test?

The one I use ishttp://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ After it loads, click on a city and wait for test and results to appear. Suggest you try several cities as results may vary.

Thanks hancle that site was a little easier to use. I have the skow DSL and saw 1300 download and 265 upload speeds, how does that compare to others out there (what type of service do you have).

Golfnut, there's another thread under "Computer questions" where folks shared their computer speeds.

See "Embarq High Speed Internet". :bigthumbsup:

I have the Verizon FIOS service. It's fiber optic cable, and it's supposed to be fast. I tested it, and it sure is.
The closest server (NYC) gave me over 20,000 MBPS on download, and 3,550 on upload. It lowered when I tested the distant servers. Seattle returned 6,600 download, 750 on upload.
