Could we host a broadband speedtest here at Techwatch?

when you live as far out in the sticks as me, it can be used to see how slow it is!!!!

Always nice to know if you're getting the speed you are paying for...

dunno about hosting an app for speed testing, but i use this to check my own speeds

Right click the 50mb file and "save as..." to give the most accurate test. 100mb doesn't work (apparently).

Mods, if the above link is allowed, maybe worth stickying?
