Local ADSL Speed Test

[Nebula]

Hi Guys/Gals

Where can I find a local ADSL speed test? The link to the speed test on the Telkom.co.za site is broken

I've mentioned this before.. even if the page does seem to work sometimes... Once you have the test.. Click on the FAQ that appears

Cable and DSL Modems
The modem speed test pages are designed for, and tested on, ordinary analogue dial-up modems, and ISDN modems. Results of tests for other 'high speed' modems, such as, cable modems and DSL modems may be in-accurate. For example, tests between two computers over a simple ethernet (10Mbps) network indicate a throughput of less than half the theoretical maximum. However, it is possible that this in-accuracy is due to increased overheads which occur at such a high transfer rate.

I just tested it from work .. using ISDN (yes I did clear the cache!).. Think i'm going to swop my ADSL at home for my ISDN
