Well anyone calling in regards slow speeds will always be asked to download some large files from there while our 2nd line agents connect direct to the uBR to check the download speed, upload speed, bandwidth available and if they can flood the connection with pings.

They will be able to give the most accurate assessment of your speed which no speed test of any sort can provide.
