Yes and yes, sort of.

I don’t see on average much extra to make any difference to my bandwidth.

Almost no one goes above a Gigabit anyways.

Before I implemented net wide MPLS/VPLS I could do 9Gbps to my server and about 
8Gbps to another server in state that was on 10Gbps.

I actually only have this server on one of my customer Force10 switches, so I 
can’t provide an exact graph for it yet.

I should probably change that, but ironically I have less 10Gbps router ports 
than I do customer 10Gbps ports so I don’t want to dedicate one to the 
speedtest.net server.

I've been meaning to spin some speedtest.net servers up, but they no longer let 
you limit who is allowed to use them. 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.

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<http://eng.5nines.com/%7Etkapela/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.

It doesn't show much actually.

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.

If you are hosting a speedtest.net<http://speedtest.net> server you should have 
a web interface where you can see all the data.
