Monitor Net Traffic

[John Hubbard]

Here is my problem;  I want to know what kind of bandwidth my isp is 
really giving me.  I have looked at a few different speed tests and I 
get different results from them, and they often seem far faster than 
what I actually get.  Now I realize that the bottle neck might be coming 
from whoever is serving the content, but I am not sure. 
So the question is; is there any way to generate any kind of report of 
my bandwidth?  I only care about how fast I am able to get data when I 
am trying to download it.  Often the connection is not being used at all 
and I don't want to factor that in. 
Any thoughts?
