Recently, my cable modem service from Comcast suddenly felt a bit snappier. I remembered that they were planning to bump my service to 4Mb downstream, 384Kb upstream, so I wanted to test my current connection speeds. While I like the bandwidth meters over at http://www.dslreports.com, I don't like the fact that they require Java.
Fortunately, there is an excellent DHTML ![[WikiPedia]](http://www.mikeyp.com/css/external.gif)
bandwidth meter over at Speakeasy.net, and it appears to be very accurate. Try it out!
