I think that one needs Flash, which Google, helpfully, declines to support. There’s an Android app for Ookla. That may not be the only one, but it’s the only one I know of.

Not sure if they have one for Apple. From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Voelker, Andy Sent: Friday, August 26, 2016 11:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Internal bandwidth testing applications We’ve been using the speedtest.net mini app to test on-campus bandwidth. This helps troubleshoot wifi issues when people claim they aren’t getting the speed they want. It eliminates the variable of internet congestions and bandwidth management that we would get from just going to speedtest.net. It is also user friendly, so the help desk can send them a link and ask them to run it. However, it is flash based which means it doesn’t work on mobile. Also, ours just expired again (it does that every few months) and there doesn’t seem to be an update. Good time to look for another tool. Does anyone know of one we could host in our datacenter, that is user friendly, and that doesn’t require flash or java?
