Any tool or > trick? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something about ADSL bandwidth? First of all, I would demand that the ISP where you are acquiring your ADSL bandwidth provide you with your bandwidth utilization MRTG or RRD graphs. It is the responsibility of every ISP to provide their clients the bandwidth usage graphs no matter how big or small they are! Other than that, make sure that your uplink is not 100% utilized while performing download tests. Other factors affecting your downlink could be your bandwidth might be shared or burstable and not dedicated. Have you tried performing downlink tests in the wee hours when there could be almost nobody contenting for bandwidth if your bandwidth is burstable? For basic upload and download tests, you can visit the following URL: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ But still, your first priority would be to get the bandwidth utilization graphs from your ISP.
