Erm, did I just embarrass myself?

A google search for 'bandwidth test upload' came back with a whole bunch 
of useless links that don't seem to work.  For example, the test at 
www.buytelco.net told me my connection speed was 0 bits upload, 0 bits 
download, after chugging for about 2 minutes.

update:
http://www.speed-test.net/
seems to do nicely.

P.S. I think I will actually attend my first-ever wplug event this 
Saturday. yay me!
