Google has rolled out a YouTube speed-tester that tells you how your ISP stacks up against other ISPs in your town and country, to "give you the ability to compare your speed numbers with other users in your region."

Translation: Google is giving you the ammo you need to fight back if your ISP sucks, or if it is twiddling the knobs to discriminate against Google. It's a brilliant piece of pro-Net Neutrality judo, and I can only hope that they follow it up by figuring out tools that let users speed test all kinds of services and protocols so that we can get a picture of how ISPs are messing with us.

Pick a city a long distance away from were you are for a good test.

Lol now I see it...now you posted it twice.

Do you have one of those cheaper low speed plans?
If not I would be complaining to comcast.

Go on there web site and see how much speed your paying for.

You might have some dickhead who is doing a lot of file sharing or hosting a gaming site eating your bandwidth.
