    Can someone recommend an internet speed test that shows whether the dsl is functioning within the normal range of what I'm paying for?

    Hi Norgates

    Yes this one http://www.speedtest.net/ is one many use as its very accurate, just pick the server closest to you and then run the test 3 times at say morning midday and evening and average out the speed and that will generally be what you are getting.
