Dunno if this is the one posted previously, but it does the job.

Better still, Google "Broadband speed tests" and you'll find links to loads more of them.I like Broadband Reports.com best.

Giganews is another good one. Select the European link.

Hmm. 2 hours ago I tested with TFC's link. Result for my 2mb Wanadoo connection was 1.79kbps. Just now tried it again and it was 1.17kbps. Giganews test also came in at 1.19kbps.????????
Hell, they're now down to 0.97kbps. Soon be back at the 512kb level!!!!

Just tried a few and they agree with Giganews. I usually get around this speed but have been back to 750kbps at times.
