Modem connection speed?

How do I know at what speed my modem is connected at?

I use:

user@localhost# /sbin/ifup ppp0

to connect and all works well, but how do I find out my connected speed?

Find a speed test online. I typically use the ones at DSLReports

I would actually like to know the rate at which my modem is connected to my ISP.

that's what it's for.

What does this do? it benchmarks your line speed, both up and down. The test servers are located where they can reach major backbones via DS3s (45mbps). These tests work reliably up to about 5mbit or so.
This test is a transfer of nearly uncompressable data (actually, mp3 files). The result shown is your data transfer speed. This should be close, but less, than your rated (purchased) line speed. If you can get close to 90% of your rated line speed, everything is perfect!
