Speaking of Internet speeds - here's a test site.


If you'd like to test your own speeds, here's where to find Speakeasy.

You can choose from several cities as a testing location, and you will get the best results by choosing the one closest to your own location. That's because the further away your test site is, the more hops the signal makes while transferring from one section of the web to another along the way, and each of those hops causes a certain amount of delay or latency in the results.

  3. @ Lucky Lady:

    Have a look at DSL Reports/Tools and try first the Tweak Test, and then Doctor TCP if the test recommends some changes.

    This can improve the speeds for older computers that may not have been set up for DSL speeds.
