Hi everyone,

I have not a clue where the off-topic. So if someone wants to they can move it to off-topic. Well anyway..

How can i test my ADSL connection?? May someone post as many links as u guys can to test it?? I just got the DSL about a week or 2 ago.. Another question.. How can i test it by doing DSL to DSL?? Like with another DSL?? Everytime i test a connection, does the connection speed change or how does that work?? Well thanx for any replies..

Well, on the second link, you would press the "START" button

And on the third link, there are 3 test links you click, right under Step 4

Or aren't you asking how to test your connection?

I'm asking how do i test my connection. On the second link, There is no start button for me. I don't see it anyway. It need a plug-in but i ignore the plug-ins.

Sun Java isn't a bad thing to have. You only need to use it when something like this comes up.
Why test your connection only with another dsl connection?

Why even go online if you can't have the "plugged-in" experience? Why be scared of Java? It may be the most inoccuous product on the planet... Just get it, or don't whine. While you are at it, just get every other plug-in too... become part of the revolution!

I could see Dr. Tim really enjoying that... I bet that if he were not being eaten by worms (and making them trip on his spinal fluid) he would have a hearty chortle at that comment.
