    Another site for testing your line speed is http://www.irishisptest.com
    It has the advantage that its based in Ireland, so the results should be more accurate

    Not too bad :)

    Your current bandwidth reading is:

    82.17 Mbps

    which means you can download at 10.27 MB/sec. from our servers.

    I got 431.20kbps
