Those website speed tests all seem to require Flash
which I don't operate. Fortunately amfone.net works well enough without Flash.
But anyway, running curl to dev/null with a speedtest server on the other end tells me my 15 buck / month cheap ham DSL provides me with almost 77K download speed:
%curl -o /dev/null

This is okay for everything except videos, but missing videos hasn't bothered me yet.
