Cloudflare has https://speed.cloudflare.com and Apple has http://test.edge.apple/debug/ too.

The Cloudflare speed test usually gives lesser results vs. Ookla while Apple's test URL is only useful to test on which cluster an end-customer ends up. I'll take notes about the "networkQuality" command!

I think this is why Netflix came out with fast.com, but AFAIK, they're the only ones that have their own tool using their own infrastructure.

macOS have a built-in “networkQuality” command line tool (`man networkQuality` or https://support.apple.com/kb/HT212313 ). (iOS and iPadOS have a similar tool if a “WiFi Performance Diagnostics” profile has been installed).
