This is a finished version of one that we tweeked from Derek Del Conti, I believe Eje has it listed on his site.
The nice thing about having a speed test on your network and a caching server is that your subs will appreciate you a whole lot more.
Unless you restrict them to something lame like 384/128

JC,
What do you guys run for a local speed test? Have you created your own web app or can you point me to something pre-packaged. We have been using pcpitstop.com for a quick sanity check but as you said it has been running like crap lately. Any help is appreciated.

PS: What we have done is put in place a Cache Server which 98% of the time takes care of most speed testing. Also it can actively cache those little websites that are slow in loading making a T1 look like an OC-3. Since we have done this life is a bit more quite right now.

That's why we specify in our policies that any speed test to be done is
only valid if it is to OUR speedtest on OUR website. We can't control the
bandwidth between us and 2Wire, or DSLReports, or whoever they want
to test from this week. So we state it up front. The internet is a volatile mesh
of comingled networks that are owned by a myriad of companies that have
loyalties to no one. We guarantee your speed and connectivity to our network
and that's it. Nobody out there will give you anything better. If they do, take it.
Offer them this choice...
- Cheap
- Fast
- Reliable
Pick two.
Of course a phone call at 6AM every day would drive me to the
point where I would say FINE. Drive out there, test the bandwidth
show them that they are getting AWESOME speed, then hand them
a bill for $65 for the truck roll.
Then enjoy sleeping in..

What do you do when a customer refuses to listen, when they haven't had a single timeout in 4 days and have 2mbit to the office all the time (sometimes spiking to 5mbit) and they are still insisting on calling at 6 am to wine that some Indian site isn't loading properly ? I MEAN JESUS DO I CONTROL THE INTERNET?
