Which is the best broadband speed test software for Macs?

Question

I want to detect the speed of my Internet connection using my Mac. I often use WiFi or CDMA, so would like to know which is best and if I was to open both, whether it could increase my speed further!

Any recommendations for Mac software that can do this?

Answer 1

If you just want to know how fast your internet connection is, try http://speedtest.net/ (not Mac specific, works in any browser). If that doesn't work, google "internet speed test" for some alternatives.

Determining which is better should be a simple function of running some tests.
