Broadband speed testing...

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Happy New Year all!



I'm sure that we're all aware of www.speedtest.net as a site that allows
you
to check your broadband speed but I've been having issues with my VM
broadband connection for a while now and was wondering if anyone knew of
any
command line based alternatives to this that would allow me to - say - do a
speedtest every so often and log the results (ideally on Windows)?



Basically my supposedly 60meg down / 6meg up connection seems to be
typically be 4meg down / 2.8meg up so I'd like to try to keep an eye on it
at regular intervals to try to build up a profile of whether it's time of
day related (contention) or whether it's some sort of physical problem. I
had a service call from Virgin Media yesterday and for a little while I was
back up to 51-52meg but now back down to 2-5meg this morning. L
