This is google's stuff - and a link to a github so one can implement on the LAN side...

Bing also has a Speed Test embedded in their search page

I could tell it's google's stuff. Reporting mere fractions of what I actually get from my ISP.

The jitter measurement is nice though (26ms), but I don't know how it compares to anything else or if it is even good or bad or even real.

You guys ever tried the one at dslreports.com

 

[L&LD]

Lola, yup!

 

[Lola]

Lola, yup!

Is that the extent of what you have to say about them? Do I take that as a YUP/fantastic or YUP/past my level of expertise in pinging, LOL.

Since it was deleted by someone I guess I know the answer.

I answered your question which was did we try it. There was a thread or a few posts about it many months ago.

Just another online speed test that I use to compare against anything else I've used. So I guess the 'yup' is 'it works'.

What was deleted? This thread looks complete to me?

 

[sfx2000]

Nothing was deleted or moderated - dslreports.com/speedtest is a well known site, and it does a nice job, the intent of this thread was to introduce some other lesser known sites - seems like everyone is getting into it these days...

There are 2 kinds of speed tests you need, 1 is to test your ISP's line, the other is to test your actual internet speed. Its easy to fake a speedtest.net, i've had speedtests that say they are 1ms when i have 5ms of additional latency via powerline. speedtest.net is easy to cheat, but its important to have other speed tests sites to test your actual speed and config.

So more independent speed tests sites are needed.

ISP speed test sites can be used in another way too, seeing how fast your connection is to that particular ISP. For example lets say you want to transfer data to someone using verizon, you use verizon's speed test despite using another ISP to see how fast your connect is to that ISP.

speedtest.net has always been my go to site.
