Best to choose one in your own country. You could always Google “internet speed testers”. One which enables you to choose a local server is Speedtest which has a reworked website. However the download results for me are wildly optimistic and variable, at between 13 and 35 Mbps – on a 10 Mbps line on which I standardly get 9.1-9.2 Mbps with a reliable UK tester.

Does any one remember the site. If so, could someone post it. Much appreciated.Here is another with a choice of 8 cities in the US, including one in Dallas. So that might be your first location to test. ( if you are a Texan )
Compares both upload and download speeds. -

AskWoody LoungerMay 8, 2009 at 5:26 am #1159729hi everyone, thanks to all of your reply’s. I apologize if I offended any one
with my raw sense of humour. Couldn’t resist when I saw Viking33 asking
“if you are a Texan”.
Viking33, thanks very much, the link site you gave was actually the one I had been
searching for. The curious thing is I get a better result from East Coast cities above all,
especially Atlanta (17000 dl/kps 490ul/kps). Dallas at 15673 dl/kps 492ul/kps and
14126 dl/kps 484ul/kps for Seattle. Which I guess appears to be about average.
OH , DocWatson, you are correct on your last post. (lol).-

AskWoody LoungerMay 8, 2009 at 6:11 am #1159735hi everyone, thanks to all of your reply’s. I apologize if I offended any one …
I’m positive you didn’t offend anyone, especially Viking and Doc. Me neither fer that matter – I’m a former New Yawker and used to “rough” talk. I just haven’t “met” any Texans ever since our Cowboy dropped out of sight… or moved to Florida… or whatever.
PS When having a geography discussion recently with my 5 year old grandson, he asked what’s the biggest state in the USA. I immediately answered TEXAS. His 8 year old brother corrected me to say that Alaska is the largest. Learn something new every day, even from the kids.
