How Do I Test My Connection Speed?

[Salvador]

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to test connection speed. I'd like to find out what speed pages are loading. Is there software out there that can test this?

TIA,

Sal

I have the sand thingie, it takes three grains.

Is it good?

Jack,

That's damned good! You must be on an OC3.

Hehe.. Thanks! Anyway.. The reason why I wanted to test it is that I had to cut a RG6 coax wire and I ended up crimping the two ends together with a female and male crimper (screw on type).

I'm trying to figure out if this made any difference to the connection speed. It doesn't seem like it, but I can't tell for sure.

BTW.. I have extra wire without the split that I hooked up temporarily to try and compare and it seems about the same. I guess it probably is.

Thanks,

Sal
