I've used Visualware's My Connection Server, and the stats it gives are decent. Haven't yet updated to the latest version, which seems to be require client software installation, however. http://www.myconnectionserver.com/ Have also used Ookla's, but it seems more useful to join their

Re: Favorite Speed Test Systems

I like nperf.com as I usually always get consistent results and you can keep track of your results if you sign up. They only have one server in Canada (hosted by OVH in Beauharnois) but you can host your own like Ookla's Speedtest.net. On 5 December 2016 at 15:37, Janusz Jezowicz

My company Speedchecker offers good alternative, we have HTML5 technology as well as native SDKs for mobile such as iOS,Android and Windows I can send more information about our measurement methodology, customer base etc if required. We did comparison of Fast.com and our technology few months

Re: Favorite Speed Test Systems

I was thinking they tested up too, but still.. Never had good performance testing to them upon release. Good connectivity with several diverse upstreams. Always had better results with beta.speedtest. YMMV On Dec 5, 2016 9:59 AM, "Steven Miano" wrote: > First, you only get

Re: Favorite Speed Test Systems

First, you only get down from fast.com not up - so the up/down is a bit suspect there. Second, this is a more 'real world' test than iperf - if you want to ensure that your NIC is operating at the rated speed I'd imagine you'd have the ability to setup an iperf target and check Layer2/Layer3

Re: Favorite Speed Test Systems

A lot of people have crappy performance to those. For example, from a 10G server to fast.com I was pulling around 9Mbps up/down. 1 hop away from a Netflix open connect appliance. On Dec 5, 2016 9:49 AM, "Steven Miano" wrote: > fast.com is a dead fast/simple download result

Re: Favorite Speed Test Systems

fast.com is a dead fast/simple download result page. ...also with a huge customer base - it is often closer to speedtest..net|com than some of those others. There is also a speedtest-cli available on Linux/MacOS (via Brew). On Mon, Dec 5, 2016 at 9:50 AM, Graham Johnston

For many years we have had a local instance of the Ookla speedtest.net on our network, and while it is pretty good some other tests seem include more detailed results. I am aware of the following speedtest systems that an operator can likely have a local instance of: * Speedtest.net
