45 MBit?!

I'm envious.

Uhm... As far as speed testers go... You can try the following:

	http://www.dslreports.com/stest?loc=97
	http://www.beelinebandwidthtest.com/

The first one seems to be the more accurate of the two because it does
more testing.  Note that my connection is supposed to be something like
6MBit down and 768Kbit up, and in reality it's only like 4 MBit down and
400Kbit up, but you'll have that.  :-P
