I would be interested in this as well Dennis. $500 seems fair. -Tim

Speedtest site has to sit on our network, so we eliminate any problem on the net and can show customer that it is performing within our network fine. Branable is must. This is what ookla gives: CLIENT IP ADDRESS ,CLIENT LOCATION, TEST DATE SERVER ,[download]DOWNLOAD ,[upload]UPLOAD ,[latency]LATENCY ,USER AGENT Above is sufficient.

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.

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<http://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). -Tim From: Af [mailto:af-bounces+tim<mailto:af-bounces%2Btim>=velociter....@afmug.com<mailto:velociter....@afmug.com>] On Behalf Of Tushar Patel via Af Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2014 7:55 PM To: af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Speedtest replacements? 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.

I'm looking at alternatives, such as OpenSpeedTest and speed.io<http://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, Darren
