Here is a very simple speed test for broadband that seems to give the most accurate results out of any of them.

Run the speed test at: http://sod.ms/fast/

The test is run by a company based in the UK called Andrews & Arnold Ltd - I have heard nothing but good things about them.

Other speed test websites:

• BT Broadband Performance Tester - This is the site 1st line broadband support will always send you to in the event of you complaining of low speed on your broadband connection. [UK Only]
• Speedtest.net - A bells and whistles broadband speed tester. Seems pretty accurate, but a little too ”feature rich” (read: bloated) for my tastes.

If you know of any other speed tests out there that stand out from the crowd let me know and I”ll add them to this article.
