If you love SpeedTest, then you will really love PingTest! As the internets get faster and as broadband becomes a basic way of life in our personal and public lives, knowing how your local computer is competing -- quality wise -- with the rest of the world in delivering rich content, is important.

PingTest also "grades" your internets connection on a sliding scale so you can precisely know how well your broadband is behaving online.
If you are experiencing Packet Loss, PingTest will tell you that, too, and even offer remedies.
If you don't know what a "Ping" is -- PingTest gives you a quite fine mini-tutorial explaining it all.

I'm looking forward to testing this tonight. I'm convinced that my Vista machine has a worse connection than Elizabeth's XP machine even though we are connected to the same router.
Oh, wow! That's interesting, Gordon. Do you still have your MacBook to test that against your standard install, too?
