good and accurate broadband speed checkers, as in put in a postcode/phonenumber for where ever and it'll give you the speed you should get. Am moving away soon so wanna scope the place out

BT's own one is probably the best, but its not 100% accurate:

Most indepth one by far.
Shows exchange info for be/sky etc.
Lots of other nifty things on the site to.

Virtualy all of the main checkers you see on isp's sites get their results from Bt's database anyhow so there should not be any noticable difference between the speed results.

Cheers guys.

Max 4mbps isn't too promising though

Your lucky. I only get 2mb here

They all suck really, your phone line may actually be a mile or so longer than your next door neighbors for any number of error detection/solving problems in the past.

Nothing beats a real speed test once it's installed... but that means you have to get it first.. ahh the conundrum
