TPtest tool - UDP / TCP broadband data speed measuring tool

Guys,
I want to share with you a little, but very useful tool for data speed testing.
It doing great job for troubleshooting, optimization and etc. tests.

"The program TPTEST is measuring the throughput speed, that is the speed
(measured in bits/second) to and from the test server that is being used.
Note that the throughput is usually lower than the connection speed.

Several factors decide what throughput you get. The most important ones
are the connection speed, the access network, the network of your ISP and
how congested the network is. TPTEST tries to avoid a series of known problems
network performance metering software has had to contend with by doing all its
measurements vs a dedicated test server that is as centrally located and well-
connected as possible. The test server is located at an Internet exchange point
in Sweden (in Stockholm, to be precise), which is one of the places where traffic
is being exchanged between Internet operators. The Internet operators themselves
may install test servers inside their own networks too. The number of available
test servers may vary because of this. TPTEST will tell you what servers are
currently available. Read more below about how to select a test server."

I hope you like it.
