for PING
run a dos-prompt from within windows (start -> Run -> "command" or "cmd" for XP/NT)
Type "ping www.computing.net"
it will tell you the response time
FYI - A "PING" is just bouncing a signal off a computer and seeing how long it takes to reply (kinda like radar/sonar)
As for bandwidth, it depends on your ISP. Each ISP puts different caps on their service. (for broadband it is typically 1500 kbps downstream and 150-400 kbps upstream)
Bandwidth is a relative term as when less people (from your ISP) are online your bandwidth will increase (more noticable with cable, but cable is still better than DSL anyday)

Ping a local host - a machine on your network.
It's its anything other than 0ms your network is ill.
Do a trace-root on annternet address (tracert yahoo.com) and you'll see the times taken to hop between routers. This gives an indication of your ISP's speed.
