Connection Speed Testing:    

    This page will offer you three choices of test files which are used to measure your modem's throughput speed, in bits per second. This is commonly referred to as the "baud rate". Select the link pertaining to the modem you have.
    Please note that a Javascript enabled browser is required for running and measuring these tests. Remember to hit the "Retest" button on the test page to obtain an average baud rate.
    If the reports vary widely each time, or are consistently very low, you will probably benefit from a modem tweak and or driver update.
