How can I test the bandwidth of my ADSL line? Problem: I should have an ADSL line with 12Mb/sec download and 1Mb/sec upload speed. The MRTG graphic of my ISP shows only 3Mb/sec. I complaint! Than the ISP makes a test and shows me 13.8 MB/sec I wonder how they made the test? I suspect that they collect the data for the MRTG graphic on their router and that the test is only saying that they send out so many bytes, what does not mean that I got the bytes!!! After their test I started immediately to download from different sites to download big files, like Suse 10.2 beta and got a total speed of again 3Mb/sec. Obviously our testing is wrong! How can we really measure the bandwidth??? bye Ronald Wiplinger
