This is pretty great. Coin-Operated has come up with a downloadable bandwidth meter which constantly monitors the data rate and triggers a Mr T catch phrase when the connection speed gets over 1.5 MBps.

In my experience, most DSL users seem to be topping out at around 900 kbps, and with the proliferation of wireless routers and shared network connections (one of the reasons this meter was created), most people are actually getting way below this.

So what is your connection speed? I’m curious how many people out there are actually getting 1.5MBps and above.

UPDATE: Anyone else having a large discrepancy between this app and online sources? MR T1 is clocking my rate at between 500k-700k but a bandwidthplace.com test put me at 4.8MBps.
