A good speedtest web site is www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest . It will test your connection and then tell you what is typical in your area.
I tried work:

Speed
364.2 kilobits per second

Communications 364.2 kilobits per second
Storage 44.5 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 23 seconds
Subjective rating Not bad

Explain results
