What kind of data do you want? We were thinking a simple brandable
speedtest site..

I would say one time price of about $500, all data saved on local
mysql. May charge operator for hosting if they want to do it that
way. If you do come up with new upgrade then charge about $250 for
upgrade.

It was, not anymore. What would be a good cost that you would pay
for? i.e. I was thinking of my team programming up one for WISPs J

Per the Mikrotik forums it looks like it is proprietary.

Isn't the bandwidth test built into Mikrotik a variant of iperf?

We also run speedtest mini and it is not very reliable, especially
for 25mbps or greater. Iperf, however, works every time.

The server on a network run by a world-famous optimization
nerd reported much higher speeds and more consistent results
than the one run by the fellow WISP or the one run by a IT
consultant...

I hate to necro an old thread, but has anyone devised an
alternative? We’re looking at the same dilemma of our own
speedtest. It’s always been nice to have the Ookla speedtest
not just in terms of performance, but the ability to reference
actual results as well (since customers sometimes misinterpret
the results). From the other speedtests mentioned
(speedtest.io <http://speedtest.io> and openspeedtest) it
appears that neither are something you can install on a local
machine. Our personal preference is so customers can see what
their speeds are within our control (the speedtest server is
right next to our upstreams).

May be we will try that. But as a speedtest product from
ookla, I am surprised there isn't really good competing
product in the market. One would think there should be market
for such product. No wonder they are raising the price.

We currently host our own speedtest server using Ookla's
speedtest technology, but Ookla is discontinuing the
version we run, and
the licensing fees for the new version are very steep. I'm
looking at alternatives, such as OpenSpeedTest and
speed.io <http://speed.io>, but would
like to get some feedback on these if anyone is using them.
We once tried using Brandon Checkett's Fancy Speed Test,
but the results display was not really in line with what
we wanted.
Does anyone hosting their own, non-Ookla, speedtest server
have some success stories or horror stories about
particular packages?
Thank you,
