Sign up with GoogleI have come accross a great site. Its called the Internet Traffic Report and this is from their FAQ:
Q: What's all this about?
A: The Internet Traffic Report monitors the flow of data around the world. It then displays a value between zero and 100. Higher values indicate faster and more reliable connections.
Q: How does this relate to me?
A: Your Internet surfing safari may be smooth today, but perhaps you can't reach Yahoo or a few web sites in Europe. This web site will tell you if those regions of the Internet are currently slowed down. By checking the Internet Traffic Report, you can determine if your problems are global or local.
Q: What is the Global Index?
A: The Global Index is the overall average of the response rating from all servers queried in the Internet Traffic report. Higher Index means faster Internet.
Q: How often is this site updated?
A: Every 5 minutes.
At the moment the world looks like this:
Continent
Current Index
Avg. Response Time (ms)
Avg. Packet Loss (%)
Asia
66
322
6 %
Australia

Europe

North America

South America

They have not included Africa as there are not enough reliable sites.
But my reading is 85, 139 and 2%
Not bad if you compare it to the rest of the world.
