Detect Visitor's Connection Speed

76
I wasn't sure where to put this but anyway here's the idea and I'm wondering if it's possible. Help would be appreciated but if anyone has done this before regardless I can eventually figure it out I just don't want to waste effort on the impossible.

I want to basically detect a visitor's connection speed when they come to my website in order to determine which "version" to forward them to. I have one that is a little media intense including sound and flash and one that is more tuned toward those using dial up or older PCs that don't want the labor intense one. The less labor intense one will also be the one that can be viewed by mobile web and will work with the page-readers and such for the blind.

The point of all this is that I want to keep the load time down. It's a commercial site and so I need to make sure people don't get annoyed with it but at the same time I need a certain "wow" factor for the general public (hence the media version) so that they'll come to the event.

Ideas? Suggestions?
