For a long while you could go to:

to run a speed test from the Microsoft Online datacentres to your location. Doing so would produce some handy results like:
and
if you try and visit the site above it comes up as not found and I haven’t found any replacement as yet?? Strange.
For the time being I suggest that the best substitute is:
http://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com
and select the Office 365 tab
as the best way to get an idea of the performance from the Office 365 data centres, although I’d prefer to see the old site back as it provides a lot more ‘techie’ info. I hope it is getting revamped in preparation for the upcoming release of the new Office 365.
Hi Robert,You can also use http://trippsg1.online.lync.com/ which gives a similar (slightly enhanced) analysis as the old speedtest.Dave

Dave,Agreed, that is good substitute that I failed to mention. Here is the MS link to all the test locations:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2386655Strange that this site uses the same testing process that is no longer available via http://speedtest.microsoftonline.com. You gotta figure something better isn't far away?ThanksRobert
