I would just ping them, it's not like it takes a long time to do :P
Ping tests, speed tests, load some test pages...
You could use the collective wisdom, tell us which is your country and then maybe we can make some recommendations to you.
Bangladesh
Maybe you can try a ping to your IP (or some of your local IP's) from here

Good Idea.
It Works.Thanks..
Ping is not the only measurement. You want to make sure wherever your hosting has adequate bandwidth to your target audience. For example, it's faster to host on the west coast of USA and push the data over the Pacific to Australia than it is to actually host in Australia with some providers. The ping is 80ms higher, but the bandwidth makes up for all time lost on the ping once it starts streaming to the browser.
Look here for some basic info as well http://www.cablemap.info/
Go for hosts that use connections that feed to your closest point.
Singapore or Hong Kong would be my first recommendations if you're in Bangladesh.
