Most large downloads [over the web] and streaming services operateover a single connection to the server, so it makes sense to measurethe throughput available over a single connection. Personally this ismy preferred test when comparing ISPs even though it may not show whatthe connection is capable of with multiple simultaneous connections.
Try DSLReports instead. It does use different metrics & one could claim it's a 'better' objective test - but more importantly, most ISPs seem to have forgotten to prioritise it, so it can be more accurate as a real-world comparison. It will also test for bufferbloat.
*As mentioned in comments, don't confuse the naming of 'multi-threading' with that normally associated with CPU threads. This is about multiple simultaneous connections.
Also note that bufferbloat is usually of far greater significance than a flat-out speed test, under real-world conditions.
Okay so I have been trying to run speed tests using the Ookla/Xfinity Speedtest.net for weeks and over a month now with no success. First I thought it was my router and actually there was a problem with my router so I bought a new one. I went from a single band Motorola Router to a Netgear Nighthawk router.
However I am still experiencing the same issue. The Comcast tech wanted to blame my iMac but the speed test doesn't fail when I use the Google speed test. Below is the image from the Ookla speed test.
When I emailed Ookla support they claimed the website works on all of their Macs and they don't know what I'm doing wrong. That it must just be me and they don't know how to help me. The only other thing I can think of is that in the last round of Catalina security updates is when this issue started happening. I'll mention that obviously I'm connected to the internet when I am running these speed tests. This occurs whether I'm connected by way of ethernet or wifi.
That one worked just like a charm. The Speedtest.net app worked also just fine on my iPhone. However it still fails on my iMac. I've searched through the settings. I don't know what could be interfering with that particular website and app honestly. The xfinity techs when they come here are the ones who insist that something must be wrong with my iMac since it can't use that main Speedtest.net website.
I wouldn't trust Xfinity folks having Mac knowledge, and would reject any attempts by them to install, or otherwise tinker with your iMac. Did they run a test from their head-end back to their device at your location to insure there were no Xfinity network issues?
They ran multiple tests and I have had three techs out here over the last two years and I have went through three of their routers before I decided that I'd had enough, and decided to finally buy my own. I really can't wait until they get AT&T Uverse. I used to have their service when I lived in Texas. The service was great and much more reliable. At the moment they only have service in Mass. Comcast has a tight stranglehold on New Hampshire and shows no signs of letting up.
I'm trying to setup an Ookla server for speed test. My OS is Ubuntu (20.04 LTS) and I installed the script, also set it up to start after reboot, but I don't know how to set it up to work with HTTPS. The test page says my server passed on netgauge, websocket and crossdomain but failed on https. I would also like to know how I use my server for speed testing before I upload it to Ookla? I would like to know what is the speed and how it performs. I didn't find much documentation on Ookla's website, for example I didn't find how to setup HTTPS. If I get a certificate from Let's encrypt, how do I install and use my certificate?
Please note that the automatic Let's Encrypt certificate provisioning will not begin until after your server has been submitted and either approved or accepted for use. The HTTPS test on the Server Tester can be ignored during the initial submission period.
I installed the speedtest-cli and the binding on openhabian on Raspi.
speedtest works manually from cli.
But the thing never gets any data.
Which user and how needs rights to execute speedtest?
In addition to download speeds, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ have been recognized for their multiple high-performance features. These include a dual-aperture camera, long-lasting battery, IP68 water and dust resistance, and most recently, double or even quadruple the storage in a new, high memory option. Whether users are sharing and sending summer photos from backyard barbecues, hanging out with friends on the beach, or loading up TV shows and movies for a long plane ride to visit family, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are the perfect phones for the summer.
Speedtest CLI by Ookla brings trusted technology and a global server network to your command line, offering a robust way to measure internet connection performance metrics. Ideal for developers, system administrators, and computer enthusiasts, this package allows you to run tests without the need for a web browser.
Or create your own container using alpine linux and install speed-test cli yourself within that (since there are no official docker image for that as it seems) and then install that as a custom container in your VyOS.
I'm a new Gigabit Fios Internet subscriber. I have to say, I was a bit perplexed with the differences, sometimes quite large, between the official Fios speed test site vs. others, such as Ookla, Google speed test, Speakeasy speed test, or even using xfinity speed tests.
I find that you have to be cautious of using other speed testing sites or apps, because depending on the server that the site or app chooses, this can turn out to make a huge impact in the speed test results.
Also, if you believe you're not obtaining the full upload or download speed, then unplugging your router, waiting a minute, then plugging it back in typically works to increase performance back to normal. One should restart them Fios routers/extenders either by restarting via the app (if allowed), or by simply unplugging them, waiting a minute, and then plugging them back in - it has worked in my experience with Fios, even as I'm a new customer!
Plus, I can tell you for a fact that other speed test sites can vary quite a lot. For example, just minutes ago, I used Ookla, and had absolute horrible results, even as I changed servers a couple of times, but when I used Google speed test, it gave me expected speed results according to my Gigabit Fios speeds!
If you are trying various speed tests, and not obtaining even close to the speed you are paying for, then I'd say, use at lease 5-6 different speed sites or apps, and change the servers several times in those sites or apps. If it continues, then restart your Fios router and extender(s), if you have extenders, and then test again, and I'm sure it will solve 99% of issues reported on these forums! Please try this before calling or chatting with Verizon as there's no need to use any more of your time to try to fix an issue that can be fixed by following the above strategy!
Also, I do find the Fios speed test site to be the most reliable and I like the fact that Fios speed test not only analyzes your client (iPhone, Laptop/computer, other device), but also it tests the connection speed between the ONT installed at your residence/dwelling to their Fios network!
So far I am satisfied with Verizon Fios Gigabit speed internet - I am a new customer. If i have any more experiences to share or any suggestions to help out a fellow customer, I'll continue to post them to the forums!
Welcome to the forums! We're mostly other users here and we like to help each other out.
Welcome to Fios! It's is an excellent service with high reliability, consistent speeds and symmetric upload. I think you'll find that regardless of speed test results, Fios provides a great internet experience.
Some feedback on your post. You are absolutely correct that different speed test sites can give varying results. A big reason for this is the path data takes between the device-under-test (DUT) and the test server can have congestion. Since these servers are on the public internet, neither the test provider or the DUT's ISP can do anything about this congestion. That's why most decent speed tests try to find a test site near the DUT, it minimizes the chance of a congested link. You can experiment with this by picking different test server sites (for the tests that let you pick a server.) Even if you use the same test server location, speeds can and do vary from test to test due to congestion. Like you said, perform several tests to get a good idea of what's going on.
The Verizon speed test is entirely within their network, so it's not subject to random congestion. It's a very good tool for making sure there aren't problems within the Verizon network. I use it in conjunction with non-Verizon tests to see performance at various points in the total path from my device to "the internet."
Note that the Verizon "router" speed test runs between the Verizon router in your home and their test server. The ONT is not an endpoint in the test, nor does it know anything about the test (it just passes packets.) The router test is very useful to see if speed issues are between the router and your devices or deeper into the Verizon network. Of course, this test is not available to people who use non-Verizon routers.
You didn't mention if you're testing over WiFi or wired. If you're testing over WiFi, that adds a lot more variation to paths and probably explains all of the variation you observed. You should always test using a wired connection to eliminate WiFi speed variations. If you don't have a wired connect, use the Verizon router speed test as a reference.
Unplugging routers has no effect on speed. You likely experienced correlation between random fluctuation in speed tests and your power-cycles (see above on general internet congestion.) Verizon routers are robust devices that seldom need to be reset. Extenders may be more sensitive, depending on if you're using WiFi or wired backhaul.
