You could use Iperf (http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf/), if your
ISP agrees to install an Iperf server at his end of the connection.
When we had a similar problem here, the ISP refused to do so.  Since
the ISP believed only readings from MS Windows/Linux (and not *BSD),
we put a machine running Linux at our end, and by downloading large
files with wget(1) from high bandwidth servers like `kernel.org',
convinced them that we were not getting what we should have been.
