Can't think of a way of carrying this out, some sites use a large image to download and I don't know how they do the calculation. This is an interesting one for you all!

That kinda helped but what I wanted was to display the actual speed, I read in that thread it can be done with a file download??

thats what that code does, downloads a file, calculates the neccesary time, divide it, then based upon the speed, it shows a page for slow or fast connections

Can it output exact kb/s?

after running the calculatespeed function, the variable kbytes and kbits hold the speed values. more exact than this is imo not possible in simple javascript.

That is why I would like an alternative, can't anyone think of anything? Just an idea, I could then maybe work out the code, I was thinking timer function but you don't get that in VBScript?
