web site to measure download speed?

I have seen a link here somewhere for a free web site to do a speed test to measure the speed of your downloads. Can anyone tell me what that address is? I'd like to test my Sony TX 17P and see what speeds I am getting.

OK. I found it myself on this site in another thread. Speedtest.net. I did the test and got 1236 download and 138 kbps. Is that rev a speed?

Nope, that would likely be Rev-0

Are you trying to determine if built in EVDO device is capable of Rev-A or if the area you are in has EVDO Rev-A coverage?

1300 is very good, and could very well be Rev-A... but in almost every case of Rev-A download bandwidth, users see better than 200kbps upload speeds, and yours is short of that. its why i think you aren't Rev-A.

now, your laptop may in fact have Rev-A hardware... i don't know.

but you need hardware AND network to see Rev-A speeds.

where are you, exactly? have you checked sprint static maps for Rev-A?
