Detecting Broadband connection

[Gruff48]

I have a web site with a Flash movie running on it. It runs nicely with a high-speed connection, but sucks with a dial-up modem.

Does anyone know of a method I can use to detect the speed of a connection from my web page? I need to either test the speed itself and forward to one of two pages (fast/slow loading) or be able to somehow test what equipment is sending the signal to the site (dial-up/cable modem/DSL).

Can this be done from a website?

Appreciate any help.

There's no standard way of doing it, but it can be done, for example this script:

P.S. Make sure your site is still accessible without Javascript/Flash if possible.

Hey Adam.. that link is dead. Do you know where I might find a version of that script you were talking about??

THANKS!
