Brass Knuckles pointed us towards this cool bandwidth speed test.

The fun was over far too quickly -- just .71 seconds!

My company's Internet connections is frac-T1 (1/3, or nominally 512Kbps). Every few months, I run into a pointer to this speed test. Every single time I've run it (in the last year or so), it claims my connection is "off the chart", reporting figures that are as much as 40-80 TIMES my actual speed.
