Download SpeedConnect Connection Tester
Is your Internet connection as fast as your ISP claims? Are you sure? When was the last time you ran a speed test to compare their published data transfer rate to what you're really getting? There are a number of online services that you can test against, but it's also handy to have a speed testing tool installed and ready for use (especially if your primary system is a laptop). SpeedConnect Connection Tester downloads a file from a Microsoft server and benchmarks your data rate during transfer, with a handful of stats to analyze once it completes. In theory this is meant to encourage you to purchase the company's Internet Accelerator, if your connection is slow, but you can simply use it to benchmark your connection with no strings attached.
