Tips & Tricks: Speakeasy’s Speed Test

When I want to check the internet connect speed, whether it be at work or at home, I use Speakeasy’s Speed Test. It’s free, fast, and doesn’t hedge the info. If you don’t have the juice it can be a miserable time on the Internet.

So at work I have over 90 megabytes per second download versus 20 mbps (Verizon FiOS). When I’m working at some of my friends and families houses, they measure their download speed in kbps, it’s sooo slow. I think the slowest I’ve seen lately is less than 1 mbps or 720 kbps. That’s just sad.
