is it posible to sniff someones ISP conection speed?

You cannot explictly readout the speed but you can test it. You could put a
big pictuer (~500 kb or bigger) per script on the page. You note the time
when the script has put the picture on the page and then you notze the time
again when the picture has finished loading. Then you can calculate the
users download speed by dividing the 500 kb by the time.

But this method measures not exactly because you never know if the user has
other downloads while opening the page.
