Rogers speed test sites

[Aaron Vegh]

Thanks for the link. I use speedtest.net, which provides a much
prettier interface AND a test server in Toronto, although the numbers
aren't as high as for the Rogers test (9.74Mbps vs. 8.34Mbps).
However, it's probably a more realistic test of the speeds you'll see
in the real world, since most of the network connections I perform are
outside of Rogers' network...

Cheers,
Aaron.
