test your bandwidth
Take one pinch of data, add a dash of JavaScript, bake for up to thirty seconds and you have a very simple bandwidth test. This tool uses JavaScript and HTML to calculate the time taken to load a chunk of data.
caveats
- This test can only go as fast as the uplink that the server is on, so if you have an über fast connection, it'll max out this connection first.
- If you have any other apps running they may suck up some of your bandwidth (P2P apps, ongoing downloads, etc)
