I've run into the opposite problem -- fast.com sporadically reporting
1+ Gbps times for circuits that are only 20-40 Mbps.  There's no obvious
client-side issues -- no proxying, interesting browsers, etc.  fast.com
is glitchy just often enough to give some friends of mine silly glee
when it misreports.

The problem with fast.com is that they use HTTPS for the test. The user 
needs a fast computer to decode the SSL at full speed. Even if you have 
a very fast computer the test will max out at 100-200 Mbps because the 
Netflix servers are apparently not able to encode SSL any faster. Maybe 
we would get better speed if multiple SSL connections were used.


I just did a test on fast.com and got 150 Mbps. Click the compare on 
speedtest.net button and I got 940 Mbps at beta.speedtest.net. The 
computer is Intel i7 5820K, the OS is Ubuntu 16.04 and the internet is 1 
Gbps delivered on GPON. The test runs on IPv6.


We are directly peered with Netflix with 2x10G and there is plenty of 
capacity. It appears fast.com is on Akamai but the test itself is 
downloading data via our peering.

I've used Visualware's My Connection Server, and the stats it gives are decent.

Haven't yet updated to the latest version, which seems to be require client 
software installation, however.

Have also used Ookla's, but it seems more useful to join their speedtest 
network, than host the standalone, now.

I like nperf.com as I usually always get consistent results and you
can keep track of your results if you sign up. They only have one
server in Canada (hosted by OVH in Beauharnois) but you can host your
own like Ookla's Speedtest.net.

in too many speedtests yet, and its something I've been asked about on

A lot of people can't differentiate between what the test is testing, a bad 
test and connectivity issues producing bad results on an otherwise good test. 

I'd say that most of the time, it's the last category.

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

Re: Favorite Speed Test Systems

[Steven Miano]

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

Re: Favorite Speed Test Systems

[Josh Reynolds]

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.

Re: Favorite Speed Test Systems

fast.com is a dead fast/simple download result page.

...also with a huge customer base - it is often closer to
speedtest..net|com than some of those others.

There is also a speedtest-cli available on Linux/MacOS (via Brew).
