bandwidth test

[bsasninja]

Is there a page where you can test the speed from the command prompt?
And tells the conection speed at the dc ??

For windows user there are a lot of sites where you can access to check your connection speed. Is there something like this running lynx for example ??

Thanks!

Nothing fancy, but you could always:

wget http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test

in shell.

root@robinson [~]# wget http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test
