    I signed up for a 2mb line with IBB but while on the phone with one of the tech's something he said let me to believe that they may have connected me at a different connection speed.

    How can I test my line and find out independently if I have a 1, 2 or 4mb line??

    ok, fine, be pedantic. My point is that I have a Broadband "connection" and I wanna test that "connection" to see if it is a 1, 2 or 4 Mb "connection"

    To really test the IBB connection download a file from there FTP site.
    ftp://ftp.irishbroaband.ie
    don't forget to multiple the Kb by 8 to get KBits
    128kb/s = 1Mbit
