My personal speed test server of choice is dslreports.com/speedtest. It's HTML5, supports mobile, and IPv6, and multiple streams.
We have an Ookla NetGauge server hosted here for the very purpose of internal performance testing. We've reached out to the guys at DSLreports.com and we may stand up one of their servers to replace NetGauge somewhere down the line. Obviously, both want them to be publicly available, though we've not had as much traffic to our Ookla server as we anticipated but that may be a bigger issue for folks in a more densely populated area. --Britton Britton Anderson <[email protected]> | Senior Network Communications Specialist | University of Alaska <http://www.alaska.edu/oit> | 907.450.8250 On Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 11:27 AM, Jim Florwick (jiflorwi) < [email protected]> wrote: > There’s this too… > > http://www.tecmint.com/speedtest-mini-server-to-test-bandwidth-speed > > Jim Florwick > Platform TME > > > From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv < > [email protected]> on behalf of Kevin Grover < > [email protected]> > Reply-To: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv < > [email protected]> > Date: Friday, August 26, 2016 at 1:21 PM > > To: "[email protected]" <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV. > EDUCAUSE.EDU> > Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Internal bandwidth testing applications > > Try http://openspeedtest.com/ > > > > Kevin Grover > > Manager IT Networking Team > > Utah State University > > 435-797-2401 > > > > > > > > > > > > *From: *The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv < > [email protected]> on behalf of "Cosgrove, John" < > [email protected]> > *Reply-To: *The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv < > [email protected]> > *Date: *Friday, August 26, 2016 at 11:11 AM > *To: *"[email protected]" <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV. > EDUCAUSE.EDU> > *Subject: *Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Internal bandwidth testing applications > > > > There is an android Ap for speedtest.net. > > > > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zwanoo.android.speedtest > > > > May help you with some mobile divices.
