Iperf is really useful to test your own LAN. Didn't know you could use it to test your ISP speed (in some cases)

Well, you need a endpoint outside your LAN to test. But there are some public servers[0] but not that many so it's hard to get good average speed unless you are willing to pay for some EC2 bandwidth.
