Hi,

I am looking for some kind of tool that lets me 'log' my internet connection. Basically I want it to show me, almost in real-time, what my connection speed is or something.

I'm asking this cause I have a suspicion that my internet might be dropping out regularly, but only for a couple of seconds. I notice it in games mostly, for example in call of duty games I sometimes lose my connection for 2-3 seconds (while other players don't feel anything), or in FIFA on the xbox I get disconnected in the middle of a match (lost connection to EA servers), even thuogh I can reconnect again immediately afterwards...
Also, my own radio streaming application that I wrote sometimes seems to lose its connection. I have it read an XML file on the internet somewhere every 5 seconds to retrieve the 'now playing info' for the song that is playing, and (due to lack of error handling ) it will throw an error when it cannot find the file and it does this sometimes, but only once (if the file was actually offline it would throw the error every 5 seconds, but it doesn't).


So yeah, basically what I need is a tool that I can just run in the background for a couple of hours and at the end I can see how many times and for how long I lost my connection. I need it to be pretty fast too, because my disconnects only take a few seconds, so a tool that just checks my connection once every minute or something won't do, I won't be able to see my disconnects on that...


Does anyone know anything of the sort? Thanks!
