What would one use a broadband speed checker for?

Using a broadband speed checker may be useful in several different areas. Some televisions are currently equipped with internet connectivity and you are able to stream Netflix or Blockbuster to your television. If you are going to do this it is very useful to know what kind of broadband speed you are going to be watching with. That way you will know which type of movie quality that you can order (for ex: high definition or just standard).
