hi!
I want to check different hosting providers and its servers speed. How I can do it ? One thing is testing the speed for a download of a web page, but another is to test the speed of the conection ?
regards,

There is not a way to tell what line speed they are running (well, you could setup several servers around the country and flood them with ping requests...but that might be frowned upon :)).
Your best bet is to use a tool like ServerCheck from NetMechanic.
This covers DNS, Network Connectivity, and Download Checks:

I agree. They offer a free report service too.

Also why not do ping tests from this site using different servers across the US or other countries.
