Internet speed test (was.. without title :-)

[Eric Chatonet]

Thanks to all who replied to my internet speed test request.
The results show that the average is about 250/300 milliseconds from  
Europa and North America,
seems to be a bit longer from Japan :-)

My aim was to know the internet connexion status of an user with  
reliability: that's necessary for several plugins I am working on...
So I put a text file containing the text string "true" on my web  
site: reading or not this file makes the test.
Any better or faster "completely reliable" idea?

Best regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
