Do a search for speed test and then try the different websites. I got so different values, that I said this is useless. wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.38.tar.bz2 50% [==================> ] 37.463.776 1,09M/s ETA 34s > > I test my speed, by downloading a big file with wget. > > > This doesn't give you the up speed. Use scp with a big file. scp linux-2.6.38.tar.bz2.1 xx@yyy:/ linux-2.6.38.tar.bz2.1 4% 3536KB 564.9KB/s 02:02 ETA I know it gets less, because of the cache.

BTW, my modem (AVM Fritzbox) gives very good statistics between me and my Provider Empfangsrichtung Senderichtung Max. DSLAM-Datenrate kBit/s 20000 1024 Min.
