I know this has been asked before but I can't find it. What are the best internet speed sites available?

There use to be a site called toast or something like that, but I can't find them either.

Basically, I want to about the ones that you all use.

TIA

Thanks BiPolarBill, do you have any others? They only point back to RR. And that isn't working at the moment. Script timeouts.

I can't believe no one has listed the most popular one in America

Holy Smokes! I just used the Cnet, Bandwidthplace, and Toast sites. I tested my desktop and Lappy and Cnet said I scored 1402kps and 1432 kps, Bandwidthplace said Communications were 3.1 Mps and 3.2 Mps; Storage 375.8 Kps and 390.? Kps and file downloads for a 1 Mb file were 2.7 seconds and 2.6 seconds.
The Lappy besting the Desktop in all of these tests.
Toast .net said I downloaded 414,028 bytes in 1.15 seconds and 2.14 seconds for a 2880 K speed and a 1548 K speed. The desktop won that round. I think my network card in the Laptop might be better. Its a Linksys cardbus 100 or 200. I have a Linksys card in the desktop too, so you would think the mechanics would be the same.
Anyhow it made me pretty happy. We have Cox cable here and were forced to switch from RoadRunner (Contracted to Cox) in May I think. Cox had setup their own system. Works good!:) :D :) :D :) :D :D

www.dslreports.com I think is the best. It tells you your upload speed also. All the others only show the download speed. Both are important but for me I'd like to know both. Anyone have more upload testing sites?
