Basically, I want to know if there is a trusted site out there that can tell you your overall Internet speed, i.e 512, 2 mbp, e.c.t.

The reason why is that mine says it is 2.2 Mbps, but I don't think it is as I know somebody with that speed and their is faster. Plus, our internet connection was bought under 512 kbps, though my friend says that phone lines in my area are being replaced and internet speeds are becoming faster because of this.

So, please, a site that tells you those result would be great.

Well, I'd still be interested in a site, but I found out from another source:

"2.2Mb/s was probably the speed the PC was connected to the USB modem, and not actual line speed."

Soo, annoying, wished it didn't display thatthe speed is 22 Mbps, but no worries.

I like this one:

It usually says my connection is between 3-4 mb which I'm sure is accurate.

I tested it under ADSL, because it says USB ADSL PPP under my Network Connections, so I assume thats the right one to run under? It appears to give an accurate result, a little bit slower than what we subscribed for, but it changes....
