It’s always a good idea to check the speed of your broadband connection just to make sure it’s as good as what you are paying for. To test your speed it is most ideal to use a test server provided by the ISP you use. Ask them if they provide one. Often it is an FTP server from which you can download a large file in order to check the speed of the download.
If your ISP does not provide a speed test system then check out the great list available at DSLreports and pick one or more of the test systems available in your country.
UPDATE: 28/11/2007
I have now found another system that is perhaps even better. Check it out at speedtest.net. It has a great looking interface, and it automatically shows you the closest server to where you are located. You can use it right here by clicking Start Test in the Speedtest Mini interface below (which requires your browser to have Flash v7 of above installed).
