Network Speed Test

Please test your network internet access speed using the following URL, or a similar site:

http://speedtest.atlanta.ibm.com

For example, a speed test against the Atlanta, USA server with a slow connection of 140 Kbps download and 28 Kbps upload took 14 minutes to load a 30min recording before the video began. Extrapolate from this result to estimate how fast your network internet access would be approximately. High-speed broadband internet access is the recommended configuration for this course.
