How do I test my internet connetion speed? I was meant to be having an upgrade, and not sure if it's been done.. How do I go about finding out what speed it is?

I'd recommend http://bethere.co.uk run the test and then check what they can provide http://speedtest is good as well.

The speed they give you, say it's "100kbs" multiply that by 8 and you've got your internet speed. So if you're paying for 8mb and the speedtest says you're getting 1000kbps that means you're receiving 8meg.
