pingtest.net from the same people as speedtest.net
I'm sure everyone is familiar with speedtest.net. Well, pingtest.net provides line quality analysis. Check it out.
I've recently been obsessed with diagnosing my network issues as my ISP is completly incompetent. They have me ping a single server every time. This site gives me the information required to say HEY, you need to do some work. Just because I'm getting 4mbps out of my 8mbps connection, does not mean it's working properly. Ping test.net measures dropped packet and response time. High packet loss means the lines need to be replaced. High response time means the servers are too slow to keep up with the traffic. Anyone can give precedence to speedtest.net traffic and say "hey my servers are teh roxor!". Lets see what ping test.net says about your server.
Speedtest.net results 4mbps down, .5mbps up
pingtest.net results grade B, C and D for various servers on repeated tests.
