Description:



Here's the situation...

My ISP is screwing me.

I've got a package that's supposed to be 512kbps download and 256 kbps
upload...

Problem is, it never runs at that speed.

I conduct speed tests over @ www.dslreports.com, and very rarely does it
provide me with actual 512kbps download... I know I'll never see 512, but at
least 500... or at the very least 450. Well, I've done tests where my download
has been 28kbps... LESS THAN A MODEM! And uploads? Uff... less than 5kbps.

In addition to the non-speedy conection, I get very erratic performance. I
play xBox online (xbox live), and I might be playing perfectly for 50 minutes...
then the shit breaks down. I get lag... I get disconnected... etc.

My ISP doesn't want to cooperate. I get endless hours of waiting on the phone.
They tell me they've got a 'small problem' and that I should have everything
working fine by next week... problem is, next week my connection still sucks!

Because of this, I've decided to make a lawsuit against my ISP. Well, I need
proof for my lawsuit... so, that's what I want.

I want a program that I can run in my computer, and with no attention from my
part, it will conduct speed tests (with www.dslreports.com), then copy/paste the
results into a .txt file.

This text file should be formatted as such that I can copy/paste the entire
file into Excel and get everything lined up. All data should be correctly
placed in their respective fields.

I also would like to conduct ping tests.. as everytime I do this, I get various
ping tests failed.

I want the program to do speed tests every 15 minutes, and attach to the text
file. I'd also like the program to put a "0" (zero) value when
there's no connection... because that's another thing: the connection get's
non-service a lot. Like 7 or 8 times in one week.

I want to log ALL of this. I need this proof. Results needed are download
speed, upload speed and ping (100% success? 50% success?)

I'm open to using another speed site that isn't www.dslreports.com, but it has
to be reputable. It can't be a small site. Something with 'name'. And no, do
not make the program connect to your own site or something similar. Again, a
site that's accessible to the public. I know that www.dslreports.com uses Java
for its test, so you need to take that into consideration. And the ping test of
DSLreports is a special program that you need to download and have an account
with them to use.

I'm open to suggestions. If there's a program that's out there for free, please
tell me, and I'll give you the project $ if it works for my needs.

Thank you for your time, and I'm shooting for a win/win situation for both of
us.
