I suppose, the output of "ifconfig" does not tell the real bandwidth
correctly. So if you've got an Ethernet device you can try to use
"mii-diag", which can be found at:

If you want to estimate the real bandwidth of an ADSL (e.g. PPP over
Ethernet) connection it will be much difficult, because you cannot
determine the real speed which is mostly limited by your ISP's settings 
at their edge router.
