Wikipedia states that Bandwidth test software is often used to determine the maximum bandwidth of a network or internet connection. It is typically undertaken by attempting to download or upload the maximum amount of data in a certain period of time, or a certain amount of data in the minimum amount of time..

In our 2011 Member Choice Poll on this brand new category - Bandwidth Meters.. members took to voting and the results are gathered for you below

Taking the lead with first choice was "None" with 38% of the tallies (nada, zip..zilch - even with the advent of caps being imposed by many ISP's causing many questions to our forum on these applications)

Second choice taking 16% was "Other".
These was specified mostly with Win 7 Desktop Gadgets - Network Meter, Network Traffic, etc and NetMeter

Our third choice (but not by much, just 14%) went to DU Meter

This was an enjoyable poll to put together for the forum, and I'd like to thank all who participated & voted their choices!

The entire list of options we explored are below for posterity & reference:
