Try dslreports.com. They can run a speed test for you.

Or this one is good as well - http://www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedtest.asp

If you got a 2Gig line and got 1.7MB, man would I be pissed off

Just kidding mate, thats a good result. You always lose some from bandwidth throttling and capacity on the line.

Direction
Actual Speed
True Speed (estimated)

Downstream 7820 Kbps (977.5 KB/sec) 8445 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 502 Kbps (62.8 KB/sec) 542 Kbps (inc. overheads)


Must be the downloads slowing mine down a tad.
