I realize that every time you connect to a dial-up system, you can
connect at a different speed. There are two web sites that I'm
aware of that will give you a more accurate view of what speed
you are connected at. The first will start to run when you access
the site. The second prompts you to select a dowload location
and either text or graphics test. Here are the links:

There are probably other tests like these, but I've found this to
be pretty accurate.
