Customers will pull speedtest sites out of their ass. I had a customer the other day testing to bandwidthplace.com, no idea who they are or where they are hosting their Chicago server, but the results were way off.

I'm certainly not opposed to a self-hosted speedtest if you can find a good one. I may implement whatever this thread determines. However, none of the speedtest servers in my area do a particularly terrible job. Several WISPs run them around here as well. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Timothy D.

I'm not sure why this diverted to upstream providers over a viable self-hosted speedtest? Regardless if your upstream sucks or not, you cannot control the bandwidth availability (or reliability) of some anonymous speed test server you yourself do not control. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Seth Mattinen via Af Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2014 4:23 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Speedtest replacements?
