Hello Toke! > Curious to know why you picked this instead of, say, something from > speed.cloudflare.com (since you're using that for the speed tests anyway)?
The reason we chose the static file instead of cloudflare was because the ping to Cloudflare from where I am reported a pretty high number (around 20ms), and we also noticed that there was an issue with the network path to cloudflare in general. We were getting some packet losses when doing a normal ping, and there were some latency spikes that would happen regularly. > Yeah, allowing some ramp-up time before determining the bandwidth seems > reasonable, but it's not generally possible to just pick a static number > of (say) seconds to chop off...

Yeah it’d be useful to have a real-time graph. > Also, a continuous graph of latency samples over time (for the whole > duration, including idle/upload/download) is usually very instructive > when plotting such a test. I had that in the earlier version of the test that I sent to you previously. It would make the test look a bit complicated though, so we should maybe have an advanced view, where the user can see these charts. > The test at speed.cloudflare.com does seem to plot real-time upload > bandwidth; is that a privileged operation for themselves, or something? It’s not “that” real time, they start from a small upload size, and progressively increase the file size. They will calculate the average bandwidth for each upload and show it on the chart that they have. I want to have the test continuously do a big upload, and have real-time measurements. > If you're reporting standard deviation, I'd just label it as such.

I’ll bring that up with the team. Thank you so much for all the help!
