Try some of the TOOLS on dslreports.com. They need Java. Like the Tweak test.

Try some of the TOOLS on dslreports.com. They need Java. Like the Tweak test. If you use Firefox or IE9, merely enable JAVA for an accurate speed test then disable it again. No Script gives the same control in Firefox but I have knocked JAVA out of constant contact with the browsers for now.

That's because they are out of date. Ancient by todays standards.

kudos:4 | The speed tests that need java on dslr are not out of date. Flash tests are utter crap when it comes to accurately testing your speed. As for Tweak test you forget that there are still a lot of XP users out there for whom that test is very useful.
