How do you test network speed without an app?

Solution 1:

ISPGeeks.com has a non-flash java based bandwidth tester. It pretty accurately measured the speed of my iPad on my home connection, as compared to similar tests on the usual Flash-based sites.

Solution 2:

SpeedTest.net has an iPad/iPhone/iPod app.

Solution 3:

Try http://speedof.me

It use html5 and works without flash.

You can also see your bandwidth graph which is interesting.
