Can anyone suggest a fairly accurate program or site for broadband speed
testing.
Are you testing your broadband ISP connection speed, or your wireless
device speed? The methods are quite different. Assuming the ISP
speed, it really depends on where you are located and who is your ISP.
The best test is usually a speed test server co-located at your ISP's
server farm. You want the fewest number of hops between the gateway
server and the test server.
Try these indexes:

modem connection. I get good speed, but I am getting consistently lousy
quality of service measurements (nothing over 65% and most approaching
30%). When I look at the route, it is always around 18-20 and the ones
with the most lag and packet loss are always the same 2-3. So, is this
really just measuring the QoS of the path and I might get VERY different
QoS measures at one of these others?
