kill internet connection

hello everyone,

i'm looking for a utility that reads the speed of my internet connection and based on that speed, decide whether to kill it or not. in windows xp, by the way.

is there such a utility? if not, can i get some tips on how to write one?

thanks much.

 

or what about just the first part only?

how can one determine the actual speed, at a moment in time, on a network connection? i'm not referring to doing a speed test. there is already activity over the connection and i would like to know what the speed is at single moment.

is this also disruptive?

thanks much.

 

ok, let me see if that is what i need. thanks.

 

thanks all for responding.

just found out that netstat -e and rasdial will work.
