Info
Bandwidth Speed Test Site List
Note: My tests showed results varied by which test service you used (20%), the media (fiber vs coax [I didn't test DSL]) (50% for some test services), depending on what computer you used (800 MHz PC vs 1GHz Mac) 60%, time of day (3-5%), and which browser you used. Note: Speakeasy consistently found my Optimum Online (cable) download speed about 20% faster than Verizon FiOS (fiber), while Broadstar and TestMy.net found it about 15% slower. Both were around 10 Mbps download.
at&t - SBCglobal.net/dsl/speedtest/ Select location in CA, TX, IL, NY, WA, VA at&t/SBC gave results between speakeasy and test my.net on cable (10 Mbps) and very low results (1-2 Mbps) on Verizon fiber.CNET Bandwidth Meter [Not as good as other tests above. Showed 1.5 Mbps on 10 Mbps fiber] cable-modem.net Digiterra, Denver [didn't work] InternetFrog.com [shows results 30% slower] Optimum Online SpeedCheck (requires login) showed faster upload (2.1 Mbps vs 1.8 Mbps for others) Optonline.net (Cablevision) New York metropolitan area FrontierNet.net Elk Grove CA (upload & download)
