So far, I am very pleased with how it works, though I think it's letter
grades on speed are a bit pessimistic (65Mbps is a "C").

Specifically, it measures bufferbloat, with both a realtime graph and a 
letter grade -- this is, in fact, how I discovered it in the first place.

Cheers,

Are you talking about the dslreports speedtest? I like that one, very detailed 
results.

I’d agree with the pessimistic scoring.. 160Mbit was given a “B” grade.

This is probably for Jim Gettys directly, but I’m sure most others have input.  
I could of sworn that that there was some test made to detect it directly on 
switches and routers?  Sort of like iperf, but to test bufferbloat specifically 
given the OS stack which is going to have issues as well, as shown on 
bufferbloat.net .
