Most accurate website for testing bandwidth?

[cedjunior]

I'm trying to find out what website that offers bandwidth testing has the most accurate results. I've tried http://www.dslreports.com/stest , http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ , cnet's bandiwidth meter, and a few others. I always get different readings. I got an email from comcast that they upgraded the download rate, for their customers who also get cable tv from them, from 4MBps to 6MBps, so I'm trying to verify that.

i find with my connection, bandwidthplace.com gives the best results out of quite a few testers.

Or you could just upload a file to rapidshare.de and download it and see how fast you go. You can easily work out your speed with a calculator.

rapidshare have like a total of 7100mbit of bandwidth, haha.

I think dslreports.com is pretty accurate depending on what server you test your speed on. I'm up in New England and my speed test rate about 3.9Mb if I test from a server in LA. Other time it's 4.1 to 4.5Mb if the server is near my state.

all of these give innacuracies.

its very hard to get a accurate idea of your speed, i would just download a file of rapidshare.
