How to calculate my DSL modem speed
Is there a link or software to calculate my DSL modem speed ?

I'm using Sympatico Ultra, and everything seems so slow latelly.

PS : Aside from the one from Sympatico, i'm looking for an impartial one to get the facts.

Just be aware that those sites measure throughput to a particular destination on the Internet. Not bandwidth.
