Oh, I wasn't going to be buying anything. This is for the freely hosted public one that'll show up when someone goes to speedtest.net.
User education costs more than me doing what Ookla wants. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Reynolds" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2016 6:10:31 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Speedtest.net Server Last I understood (1 yr ago?) You could still buy one and firewall it off, then internal DNS redirect to it. Setting up an OpenSpeedtest.net server is another (and cheaper) option that is html5 native, but you will have to educate customers on its use.

I wanted 10G or Nx10G going to one and put it on my IXes. Now I gotta have a gig+ of transit and let the world in. :-\ Go to speedtest.net on an AT&T connection, then go there elsewhere and you'll see that at least AT&T can restrict who uses theirs. Are any of you running speedtest.net on a 10G *AND* have better than 5 minute sampling of the interface? I'd like to see how much is really going o. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP From: "Jon Auer" < [email protected] > To: "Animal Farm" < [email protected] > Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2016 5:41:59 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Speedtest.net Server Some local people have been data mining speedtest data for a few years, they might have some useful techniques in these slides: http://eng.5nines.com/~tkapela/lolpreso/big-data-meetup-11-2014/tk-jf-speedtest-wankery.pdf pretty friendly folks. At one point they were hitting people up to contribute data in exchange for analysis. You might want to hit them up. I'm curious what kind of pipe/server, config you are using for your speedtest server. We haven't set one up yet but need to soon because... aside from the people doing that data mining and some area universities the speedtest servers around us have woefully inadequate connectivity for FTTn customers. E.g. I can interpolate their network utilization by running speedtests. We had one local speedtest host that caps out between ~300Mbps and the test induces ~100ms latency + 1% packet loss somewhere in their network.

I want more analytics, and I thought there would be a whole host of API/Data based charting you could get off of this data. But I can't find anything directly linking to their data. I was able to download my entire data set for my server in CVS though. With Tableau you can make some interesting charts and views, but on static data only. Here is one showing download in my city (relative to my Speedtest.net server only of course, so heavily weighted towards my own ISP). The larger red circles are around 1Gbps download test results. The smaller circles are actually the 100Mbps customers test results. The puny colored circles on the edges are all of the other ISPs in my city. We obviously dominate average speed test on download, lol! Upload is much worse for the competition. -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto: [email protected] ] On Behalf Of Keefe John Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2016 10:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Speedtest.net Server If you are hosting a speedtest.net server you should have a web interface where you can see all the data.
