How to be sure of the internet connection speed?

Oct 6, 2009 5:24AM PDT

Hi.
I have a DSL of 128. But I'm not sure the company is giving me out that speed, i think it's less!!
Is there a way or a website that can test my internet speed?
Tx so much.

What maximum speed is your subscription you are suppose to get (786kbps, 3mbps,or 7mbps)? You could complain to your ISP..and see if they can do anything about it.
