You might consider pointing people to the DSLReports Speed Test (www.dslreports.com/speedtest) - It is also free (no cost), and HTML-based. - It's graphically far more attractive than testmy.net - It's easier for people to use. Click one button: it automatically selects the nearest test server and runs all the tests. - It retains test history, so your customers can compare today's tests with earlier runs. - It measures latency *under load*, which really affects a lot of people's perception of "network speed". - I find DSLReports to be more accurate than testmy.net. In several runs today, testmy.net results average 90% of the up/download speeds seen by DSLReports, Ookla, and netperf measurements on my 7mbps/768kbps DSL connection. -Rich
