There is actually a browser-independent tool that tests the Internet speed using Ookla's servers. It's a Python script. (https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli) I think there might be some difference in results since testing this way doesn't involve plugins like Flash or Java, nor web page rendering. I am not sure how much this affects the results, though. I wonder if TMN offers any API that allows scripts like this to be written. Scripts also allow testing rented servers remotely using SSH (where it's impossible to test via a browser), and I'd really like to see TMN offering this.
