Free and Open Source Speed Test. No Flash, No Java, No Websocket, No Bullshit.
Unfortunately doesn’t quite reach the speeds speedtest.net can hit, but still cool to have a tool like this
ISPs give special preference to speedtest.net, so that their metrics will look better. Which means it rarely reflects actual reality. Theres a good chance this test is closer to the actual speeds you’re getting everywhere but on speedtest.net.
I’m the author of the project. The servers are simply overloaded af unfortunately. It’s a fairly popular project and we don’t have enough servers to support this many concurrent users.
Thank you for the project. Maybe you can have an indicator saying
- Server load level = 4/5 Measured speed might not be indicative of true speed
- Server load level = 2/5 Measured speed is close to true speed
This could set an expectation for the users of the side
Hello there, I didn’t expect you to popup. (Nice project BTW)
Would it be possible to get more companies to sponsor it? It seems like it is free advertising especially for ISPs (as long as they don’t favor IPs)
Forgot to mention earlier, Steam is an example of a real world situation where I do actually hit around 1.5 Gb/s down
Speedtest.net, Steam, well populated torrents, and the Star Citizen patcher are the only things I’ve experienced my full downstream of 1.5Gbps with.
Depending on the country, if they don’t give special preference to speedtest.net, they might just block it.
It varies on your location. Also speed test.net is rigged and fully of bullshit (ads and tracking)
Speedtest.net isn’t rigged, I can exceed the speed I get on it with steam.
Try single server on soeedtest.net
