[TriLUG] mail server plus a side question

[Kevin J.]

Every network technician I've ever had come on site either at work or at home has always used www.speakeasy.net/speedtest to test bandwidth. I tend to think they are all comparable, but there are many factors involved in getting true bandwidth speed (e.g., time of day, amount of traffic on the link when test is conducted, number of hops between end nodes, cable vs. dsl, network congestion, routing equipment used along the path, etc.) so you'll likely see slightly different numbers every time you check.
