I would say one time price of about $500, all data saved on local mysql.  May 
charge operator for hosting if they want to do it that way. If you do come up 
with new upgrade then charge about $250 for upgrade.

It was, not anymore.  What would be a good cost that you would pay for? i.e. I 
was thinking of my team programming up one for WISPs :-)

Per the Mikrotik forums it looks like it is proprietary.

Isn't the bandwidth test built into Mikrotik a variant of iperf?

FWIW at one time we had three peers (no open internet/upstream to worry about) 
running speedtest.net servers and still saw a lot of variation in performance. 

The server on a network run by a world-famous optimization nerd reported much 
higher speeds and more consistent results than the one run by the fellow WISP 
or the one run by a IT consultant...

If your upstreams suck, your customer's speedtests should reflect that....  and

I hate to necro an old thread, but has anyone devised an alternative? We’re 
looking at the same dilemma of our own speedtest. It’s always been nice to have 
the Ookla speedtest not just in terms of performance, but the ability to 
reference actual results as well (since customers sometimes misinterpret the 
results). From the other speedtests mentioned (speedtest.io and openspeedtest) 
it appears that neither are something you can install on a local machine. Our 
personal preference is so customers can see what their speeds are within our 
control (the speedtest server is right next to our upstreams).

May be we will try that. But as a speedtest product from ookla, I am surprised 
there isn't really good competing product in the market. One would think there 
should be market for such product. No wonder they are raising the price.

Why not just host a speedtest.net server and have your customers test to it?

We currently host our own speedtest server using Ookla's speedtest technology, 
but Ookla is discontinuing the version we run, and
the licensing fees for the new version are very steep. I'm looking at 
alternatives, such as OpenSpeedTest and speed.io, but would
like to get some feedback on these if anyone is using them.

We once tried using Brandon Checkett's Fancy Speed Test, but the results 
display was not really in line with what we wanted.

Does anyone hosting their own, non-Ookla, speedtest server have some success 
stories or horror stories about particular packages?

 
Thank you,
