The accuracy of this test may be questionable because it uses Javascript (see below). For an alternative, see my digg at <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/technology/Broadband_Speed_Test">http://digg.com/technology/Broadband_Speed_Test</a>To quote from the FAQ at this site: "Unlike almost all web based speed tests, it doesn't use Javascript to time downloads - it uses its own precise timing methods. Javascript is known to not be accurate, especially when measuring speed as it does not take many things into account. It is also possible that your web browser can affect Javascript speed tests."
