Ever wonder how fast your Internet connection really is? You could take the word of your ISP or you could test it yourself.

Speedtest.net is a site where you can do this in a fun and easy way. It allows you to select servers to ping from around the country on an interactive map and then graphically displays connections as they travel with varying speeds along the way. It also lets you store results of tests for your computer and sort them by date, time, speed and distance.
