These test will give you a good indication of your actual download speeds. Of course your down speed is related to how far away you are from each of the sites. If you are located very far away, you will see slower speeds.

    I've listed more then one speed test so that you can find the site that gives you the best speeds. Your best speed is what your ISP downspeed limit is cabable of, so keep testing from time to time to see what your highest possible rates are.

    Keep in mind that when the net gets busy, your speeds will be lower. You can try running these tests at different times during the day and night to see when is the best time for surfing on this side of the world.
