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 transfer speeds/etc. Third, you should really look into that if you are 1 hop away and getting that type of speed. Clearly you deserve better. ;-) 80Mbps result (with comparison link if you don't like that one): http://i.imgur.com/Cnr92Ag.png - of course I'm on a 240Mbps WAN connection: *Last Result:* Download Speed: *236960* kbps (29620 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: *22991* kbps (2873.9 KB/sec transfer rate) Latency: *12* ms Jitter: *2* ms 12/5/2016, 10:57:56 AM (Those results are from my provider in the Tampa Bay area at: speedtest.bhn.net). ~Steven On Mon, Dec 5, 2016 at 10:51 AM, Josh Reynolds <josh@kyneticwifi.com> wrote:
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.

fast.com is a dead fast/simple download result page.
...also with a huge customer base - it is often closer to speedtest.<ISP>.net|com than some of those others.
There is also a speedtest-cli available on Linux/MacOS (via Brew).

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
* Sourceforge.net/speedtest
* Dslreports.com/speedtest
Are there others? What is your preferred one and why?
Thanks, Graham
