I look forward to being able to check on the ISP. Often one feels at their mercy it would be fun and useful to monitor them for a change. Also the PDF files on Google docs should come in very useful. Eva White's last blog post..Canada’s Apology To The Indian People

Broadband speed monitor….love it! Our office connection gets throttled at the most inopportune moments, sometimes so much so that I revert to plugging my 3G modem into my laptop and going wireless just top get my work done! The service provider usually just feigns ignorance, which is highly infuriating, to say the least!

I think they should integrate their speed-monitor into the google-toolbar. That could be very interesting to measure the speed of the server of the page i am visiting.

Agree with Nicole, monitoring broadband speeds is a huge issue. The cable companies promise huge speeds but, in the case of Charter Cable at least, fail to deliver all that they offer. Third party verification would be great. Glad to see upgrades are underway at googledocs but it lacks a ton of features. How about allowing for insertion of page numbers??? Another bug-a-boo: sometimes centered text appears centered on the page but comes out of the printer aligned left. Googledocs isn't ready for prime time.

Monitoring and recording broad band speeds will be a great assistance to people like us who depend so much on the ISPs. Some times, one cannot help but admire google. I hope that they will come out with this soon. Nicole Price's last blog post..Lighting Up The House
