Your wish is my command... well not really, but i can help out with this:
http://speedtest.cogeco.net/ it's a speed test for your internet, enjoy!
You can also view others in your area and connection type to see how you stack up.
(you'll need javascript enabled for this)

Thanks a lot W2. I appreciate it. I will have to wait until I get home to check. Here at work I have dial up and it would probably take half the morning for that site to even come up.

wow, i didn't even know dial-up was still used by companies, i just kind of assumed they would require faster connections, especially when comparing prices it isn't that much more, but hey "penny saved, is a penny earned" they say.
Dial-up can be efficient pending your location and all effort put into the configuration. I've had download speeds of a consistent 20kbs+ from dial-up way back when, but i wouldn't trade my highspeed for anything.

I have a 3mb/512 adsl connection. Works pretty well and it is only like $20 a month so the price is defiantely right.
