UK speeds from Freemont Linode server
I am from Australia and not sure of a way to run a speed test, or find this out in general, from my current location. Any advice is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Rhys

so.. should be pretty good.
But it is 10pm in UK so there's slightly less 'net usage right now.
Do you know of a way I could test this remotely? I appreciate you testing for me though, that is a good gauge for me.
Cheers

Spin up a tiny London Linode, run your tests, get a prorated bill for $20/month less all the days you didn't use.
Present a nice professional (and thorough) looking test to your client and then bask in the accolades of doing a job well done.

As vonskippy said, spin up a London Linode. It's going to cost you less than a dollar if you do it all within a day. The approximate daily cost of a 512 node is $0.665 USD ($19.95 / 30 days)
