Try <a href="http://speedtest.net" target="_blank">speedtest.net</a><br>
<br>
They have servers around the world so you can test to these.<br>

To what end, vs Roger's own site?<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>Gathering enough evidence to prove to myself that my connection really is not functioning properly would be my reason to use many different bandwidth speedtest results. I am still with Rogers but always very close to switching to one of the Fibernetics providers (since I am a short distance to the Kit Bell CO)<br>
<br>Nobody mentioned Rogers SpeedBoost which is cranking up the speed of the first 10MB of a download <a href="http://www.rogers.com/web/content/speedboostonsb">http://www.rogers.com/web/content/speedboostonsb</a> so now most speedtests give me a result between 20 and 30Mbps on a 10Mbps plan.<br>
<br>Speedboost makes it harder to obtain accurate bandwidth results since most speed tests are of short duration. Rogers results will be inflated and don't represent sustained transfer rates. Even the Rogers speedcheck gives me the inflated 20Mbps download result.<br>
