Folks-

Found a nifty little website that allow you to test your upload and download speed..

Of course.. I have no clue as to its accuracy....

is that the one that installs all those spyware and trojans on your computer? (j/k)

sorta..
I am always wary of those sorts of things, unless I can verify their reputations.

I guess so, he hasn't replyed.

Must be still cleaning his machine of unwanted gizmos!

All the speed test's I've tried have always been pretty reliable (sp?), but I haven't tried that many.

Capt Cliff-

As far as I know.. its a "clean" site.. and nothing attached. However, you should never have to worry about those issues, as you should be cleaning your PC regularly, about 1 time per week.. more if you hippity hop across the web- and before/after you download any software program from the web.

Swab your decks with any of these FREE programs...... and keep 'em swabbed matie....

Well I did try this out this morning, apparently my internet connection is a great one

only a minor few points below the package rate I had purchased.
