measuring bandwidth over a wan connection like that is kinda hard..the optimal way is to have another machine on the immediate other side of the wireless link(as soon as it hits a wire) and do a http or ftp transfer(low overhead). thats probably one of the best ways to get the bandwidth of the *wireless* link. then there may be other issues with routing on the wireless ISP(assuming your doing a true wireless). which will appear to affect bandwidth but it may only be to a particular network or part of the country. so i guess im tryin to say is available bandwidth depends on what your needs are ......... nate
