http://www.speedtest.net does the job nicely.

Speedtest is crap. Seriously. They consistently overrate my connection speed by 15Mbps.

As near as I can tell, many ISPs (I have Cox Cable internet) use modems that do compression. Speedtest.net appears to use test-data that is highly repetitive.

The end result is they often overestimate your connection's speed by as much as 100%!

DSLreports and TestMy.net both use largely incompressible data, and seem far more accurate. I still get a fair bit of variance between their results (and variance between the different types of test), but they're in a far more believable regime than speedtest.net.

Speedtest works for me but you raise a good point (+1). The correct answer should probably be to try two or more sites to test your speed. – Nifle Aug 11 '10 at 11:36
Thanks for the different options. – W_Whalley Aug 11 '10 at 14:10
