Whats your broadband speed?
I usually get this question about the varying Broadband speed from many of my readers. The usual question goes like this
I am on a 512 kbps unlimited plan but still my download speed is not more than 64kbps
. Do you have any clues. Is my ISP cheating? Where can i measure my actual broadband speed?
So here you go, The first thing to remember is that most of the ISP’s sell the speed as upto speed and not a guaranteed speed. Also, upto speed usually is not the speed we get most of the times. In such scenarios if you really wish to test your current internet speed, Speedtest.net is for you.

Eee - That's What I Call Speed
Another reason GNU/Linux will do well in the ultraportable sector: Windows XP is much slower than GNU/Linux on the Asus Eee PC.
I timed each part (starting up, launching Firefox, and shutting down) to see what the time difference really was. Here is what I found:
Startup
Linux: 30 seconds - Windows: 54 seconds
Launching Firefox
Linux: 4 seconds - Windows: 16 seconds
Shutdown
Linux: 6 seconds - Windows: 68 seconds
