Full Version: Broadband speed test sites?

I appear to have misplaced my links for decent (low-overhead, no-install, no-Flash-required) broadband speed test sites. A couple of weeks ago, the local phone company has had a small fleet of trucks in my neighbourhood, so my broadband speed may have changed.

Can anyone recommend a good test site or two?

I can't say I know it's accuracy, but this site has a flash-free "bandwith meter". I'd run it a few times and get an average, though, as it tends to fluctuate a bit.

That site appears to violate the "no flash" requirement.

It's claiming the same speed I had before the work the phone company was doing.

Thanks...

It's claiming I have over 20 Mbs as my download speed at home -- my bar on the resulting graph is the largest thing on there. I find that a little odd.
