Many thanks everyone for the response. Many people have been kind enough to offer their iperf servers so I'll be trying the test today. Now, with regards to the email chain, all of these are very valid points. My objectives were two fold a) Test Path throughput through ISP backbone b)Test my 1gbps

Have you looked at M-lab? XO and Global Crossing(Lvl3) now use this a their primary. XO still has some servers on various nodes, but they only get turned up for testing on a case by case basis. AboveNet has a larger presence in Europe, but no testing servers I've found yet. J.J. Mc Kenna
