re bandwidth test sites.... this one is the most fun (i think it's the graphic interface).... promos.mcafee.com this one has sound effects.... beelinesoftware.nl and here are a few other reliable sites, besides dslreports, pitstop... 2wire.com bandwidthplace.com webservices.cnet.com lax.speakeasy.net surewest.net btw, my cable modem (cox.net) was really bogging down on me recently. lots of troubleshooting led me to a very successful conclusion. i was running two software firewalls, along with my linksys router... norton internet security (same as norton personal firewall), and zonealarm free. i found that when i shut down the norton firewall i got all of my speed back. the norton firewall was severely limiting my upload times. since i am now behind the linky router, i did not mind disabling the one firewall and just going with zonealarm. as tc likes to say, your mileage may vary. :) mark
