Testing Internet Bandwidth/Speed Sites

Anyone have some independant websites to ping to test bandwidth, ping response, and download speeds?

Normally I've used Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test

I'm wanting to get some other sites to check accuracy and comparison.

I'm on a Hughesnet Sat Dish for web service, and honestly don't believe thier own internal "speed check" numbers. I just upgraded to their "fastest" service which is supposed to average 1.5-2 meg bits a second. I'm calling bull on thier speed test that says that's what I'm getting, as my home internet is still dead dog slow.

On speedtest.net, I'm consistantly in the 500-700 kbps range.

Anyone have other suggested independant web sites to do some comparison testing of my bandwidth?
