Check ping from your desktop

Though there are online sites that help you to know the actual value of your bandwidth and ping. For example- Speedtest.net.

Though the results from this site, I don't trust 'cause it shows approx 1.32Mbps download speed. But I am having a net connection of bandwidth of 1Mbps upto 6Gb then it drops down to 512Kbps. How can this site results be trusted.
