I find iperf to be one of the more useful utilities to test point-to-point bandwidth. It has many options to test over tcp/udp, with udp it can tell you how much jitter there was. Ports of iperf are available for almost every OS.
I also like testing with NDT, but it is isn't quite as easy to work with as iperf since NDT basically has to be setup as a server somewhere, and the client must have java installed.
