Try http://webservices.cnet.com/bandwidth
It's free, so your value may be worth just that, but it gives a quick
and easy view. Not a detailed study with various downloads etc., but
doesn't take long either.

Has anyone here been successful with subnetting their own network with a cable modem connection? I have not tried yet but am skeptical since it is a dynamic IP. Heck I haven't even bothered to figure out how long the lease life is on an IP that RR leases on it's network. Does anyone know that? I guess it wouldn't be so bad if the lease life was, say, 75 days. Anyway I have been tempted by the fruit of DSL with Futurenet but am skeptical of performance because their competitive package's bandwidth for transmitting is 128K (download is around 600K). I like doing the online gaming thing and heard complaints from DSL users. I smoke with my cable connection, granted I am fighting for bandwidth and don't have a dedicated connection to a switch. Anyone know of a program that gives upload/download speeds on a network connection so I can check my cable connection?
