I was thinking they tested up too, but still.. Never had good performance testing to them upon release. Good connectivity with several diverse upstreams. Always had better results with beta.speedtest. YMMV On Dec 5, 2016 9:59 AM, "Steven Miano" <mianosm@gmail.com> wrote:
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).

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
