There are a couple of methods you can use to see if you are getting your
full throughput. Bing will tell you and is the method I use. One of the
other ways is to send a file (at least 1-meg in size) and time the
transfer. Once you have the time for the transfer and the size you can
calculate the throughput. Don't forget the TCP protocol will have some
overhead associated with it (Bing takes that into account but you have to
manually account for it using the file transfer method).
