iftop is a tool that will give you per-connection and total throughput
stats. You could run this will doing a ping flood (ping -f) against your
upstream router. Both iftop and the ping flood must be done as root.
(Warning: this may get you in trouble with your ISP)
Or you could go to a site like dslreports.com which offers free bandwidth
tests. This is probably a better idea.
