Title: Pingtest.net - determine the quality of your broadband Internet connection.
Post by: woodyear99 on October 07, 2009, 10:38:38 AM

I use speedtest.net regularly to gauge the health of my internet connection. I've found their related site www.pingtest.net (http://) (http://) a little more useful when it comes to gaming as it checks your connection quickly for ping and packet loss among other things. It gives a satisfying grade at the end, best I've gotten so far is Grade B on my Flow connection.
