Then the top and bottom 1/3 of the figures should be disregarded. Finally, the middle 1/3 of the results should be averaged</font></td> </tr> </table> <table width="100%" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td colspan="2"><h1 align="left"> <font face="Arial"> <font size="5">Download Bandwidth Tests</font><br> <font size="4"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-style: italic">Measure Download Speed or Downstream Throughput</span><br> </font></font><span style="font-weight: 400"> <font size="3"><font face="Arial">To transfer a file by telecommunications from another computer to your computer</font>.</font></span></h1></td></tr> <tr><td width="50%"> <ol> <li><a href="http://www.2wire.com/meter/bm.html"> <font color="blue" face="Arial">2Wire Bandwidth Meter</font></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/BandwidthTest.asp?size=50"> <font color="blue" face="Arial">PC Pit Stop Dial-up Modem Test</font></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/BandwidthTest.asp?size=200"> <font color="blue" face="Arial">PC Pit Stop DSL Bandwidth Test</font></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/BandwidthTest.asp?size=1000"> <font color="blue" face="Arial">PC Pit Stop T3 / Satellite Bandwidth Test</font></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/BandwidthTest.asp?size=5000"> <font color="blue" face="Arial">PC Pit Stop Extreme Bandwidth Test</font></a></li> <li><a href="http://homepage.tinet.ie/~leslie/testpage/testpg56.htm"><font color="blue" face="Arial">56K / ISDN Speed Test Page</font></a></li> <li><a href="http://home.bigskytel.com/bandwidthtest/BandwidthTest.asp"><font color="blue" face="arial">Big Sky Telecom Bandwidth Test</font></a></li> </td> <td width="50%"> <ol start="8"> <li><font face="Arial"> <a href="http://homepage.tinet.ie/~leslie/testpage/testlrge.htm"><font color="blue">Large Graphic Speed Test Page</font></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.digithings.com/speedtest.htm"><font color="blue">Digital Things Line Speed Test</font></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/idt.html?server=1&size=605" target="bandwidthplace"><font color="blue">Bandwidth Place High Speed Test</font></a><font size="2">*</font></li> <li> <script language="javascript"> //</script> <font color="#0000FF" face="Arial"> <span onClick="VerifyTest();" style="cursor:hand; text-decoration:underline"><font color="blue">CNet Bandwidth Meter Test</font></span> </font> </li> <li><a href="http://www.bandwidthtest.info/50KSpeedTest.htm"> <font color="blue" face="Arial">50K Bandwidth Speed Test</font></a></li> <li><a href="http://download.enitel.no/speedtest/"> <font color="blue" face="Arial">BaneTele Bandwidth Speed Test</font></a></li> <li><a href="http://sdguard.ngb.army.mil/BandWidthTest/first.asp"><font color="blue" face="arial">S.D.
