The other way is to log into the DSL modem's administrative interface,
and ask for the line statistics.

I don't know how to read this yet... I'm not sure what it's telling me.

Is the "6016 kbps" an actual throughput or just the connection speed?

That looks like what the modem is configured for.

Run an actual test by going to:

and pick the test server closest to you


Your headers indicate that you're near Atlanta, Ga. If so, the
closest are probably these:
