www.dslreports.com
(which is actually "Broadband Reports" now, but I never type that into the address bar. :P)

I've always used toast.net to benchmark the speed... It's not like I spent months researching how best to gauge my connection speed. It's more like toast.net is the first site I stumbled across.

DSLReports has some awesome tools. I've never even had DSL, but I've been using them since I first got a cable modem in 1999. (I remember getting 3 meg down while downloading The Phantom Menace before it was released in theaters! That was before I realized how bad and hurtful it was to pirate movies, of course...)
