<much deleted> They have those java applets on the web where you can hit a submit and it tests the speed of your connection (thruput), but even those are flawed: 1. caches can play tricks with these things 2. it tests your connectivity into wherever the file is being downloaded more than testing your modems thruput.

But as your message said, it's hard to trust customer appraisals of your speeds. If you want to know the scoop, get a 3rd party who a) knows what they're doing, and b) has no interest in the outcome to run tests and report back.
