Lately we’ve been noticing that there are people that still use a dial-up connection, most of them don’t even know the alternative (broadband). Prices are very competitive for DSL and if you want a more speed you will probably need cable internet. It all depends on what you do online.
For those of you who want to test your connection speed here is a user friendly interface that will allow you to know your upload and download speed.
Instructions
1.- Click here to access SPEEDTEST.NET
2.- When the animation loads, select a server (preferably, the one marked in yellow or closest to your location)
3.- wait…

I started using Google back in 1999, it was a big change from the regular Yahoo! page which offered (and still does) hundreds of links to news, sports, entertainment and other cool stuff. The problem is that if you are testing a connection or your browser is having problems, it is much easier to load the Google page than the Yahoo! or MSN page. Less processing means less time loading and waiting, even if you have broadband connection.
One of the good things about Google’s design is its simplicity which has not changed much since it started.
