Internet speed test over 1Gbps
We have AT&T MIS 10Gbps Ethernet circuit with speed throttled to 2Gbps. We have 10Gbps fiber connection from AT&T router to our fortinet firewall 600D 10G port. Is their a way to test internet speed over 1Gbps? We don't have any device or NIC with more than 1 Gig. How to test it?

Also remember that your fractional 10g connection has a max bandwidth of 2gig, that most likely is not what your CIR, or guaranteed bandwidth is, unless you are paying a unforgiving amount of $ per month for that connection. You will be able to burst to 2gig. The problem with using downloads as a measuring metric is you are constrained to the bandwidth of the site that you are downloading from, and the load on that site as well.
