Speedtest Net

What can I do if I'm not getting the speed I pay for? If results from FAST.com and other internet speed tests (like dslreports.com or speedtest.net) often show less speed than you have paid for, you can ask your ISP about the results.

Hi, since a couple of days my speedtest thing based on the network binding addon keeps being offline. It worked very well in the last 2 months. I was wondering if this has to do with the address i am using. If i download the speedtest file from the browser, this still works.

you can check the available serverlist via speedtest-cli command

speedtest-cli --list displays a list of speedtest.net servers sorted by distance

and / or of course:

speedtest-cli --list | grep -i germany the currently accessible german servers

Hey there, do you see any problems when you run speedtest manually from the command line as the netdata user? (This needs to be done once manually to accept the license agreements. You probably know this from the blog already.)

So if you are on an unlimited connection on a raspberry pi and are OK to have speedtest download and upload a bunch of data then setting the speedtest_update_every variable in the speedtest.conf file to a smaller value should do the trick.

When I go to speedtest.net, it hangs while trying to determine the optimal server. Otherwise, internet access seems to behave as expected. I feel like there's some configuration piece I'm missing here.

test on my phone using speedtest app getting 40-50 Mbs only which is hardly any better than the lynksys system I replaced. The brand new Roku Premier devises are also only showing 40-50 Mbs, our Samsung phones show 50-70 Mbs

using the speedtest in the Orbi app I installed during the setup process while in the exact same locations as the above tests getting 206-211 Mbs results - seems very strange that all others show much much slower speeds

Upon setting it up, resetting cable modem, etc., the speedtest wired and wireless were running 80mbps when the previous 2 set combo was working at 180mbps. I wired up directly to the cable modem and it was 180mbps. I then checked the speedtest under the ADVANCED tab: SETUP --> QoS Setup which is basically just a glorified speedtest. This test also got 180mbps. So I knew something had to be happening during the router distribution aspect.

Regardless if YOU are having speed issues and know it is not your cable modem and the router firmware speedtest in the regular QoS setup is posting normal speeds, please go to the "special" QoS settings and disable WMM.

I'd agree the speedtest option should be pulled. I've ran mulitple routers and only seen 1 company consistently have an integrated speedtest because they hosted their own servers for speedtesting. (or thats the impression they gave during testing).

Haha, I was "playing" with these settings early during the pandemic because I was getting complaints from others that my network was slow for internet meetings. But I had gigabit..how can it be slow? I tried ALL kinds of settings, but nothing really worked, except turning off all\any monitoring\logging\qos stuff. Then speeds were back up....from Rogers and speedtest sites.

re speedtest app

I was using that as well. The thing is Rogers (ISP) own site was showing slow speeds, different from speedtest app and different again from the website...confusion abound. But that was when I was using the routers monitoring\logging\qos options. I never realized just how much they sap bandwidth. :

I'm encountering a strange problem here.On my local homeserver(Debian 9.9), speedtest-cli and it's python pendant are freaking slow.Since I use it to monitor my ISP connection stability, this is a problem.

I was messing with this - and have speedtest-cli and speedtest++ installed. (Unfortunately, my GUI PCs are behind a homeplug connection, but trust me when I say the rest). Its probably down to the protocol that's being used.

speedtest-cli is completely broken, reports wildly innacurate results, and the developer 'sivel' on GitHub has resolutely refused to address any of the dozens of issues filed on GitHub about this issue, immediately closing and locking these issues without comment.

The result however can mean that a speedtest when launched - which is a new connection to a new server - will initially skew to the high side provided the network itself , which is always bouncing in utilization, isn't bogged down. If it is, you'll experience a brief drag on the speedtest followed by a surge, and then when your initial connection priority times out it will begin to drop again.

Then you have the various hops between you and the speedtest server. Your packets are not traversing a direct path. They can take any route, different from the previous route, then have the same thing happen on return. There are any number of hops in between which is why selecting a server closer is important as it usually means fewer hops. But each hop is also a potential point of congestion. And as these routes change dynamically during the test, you really don't know where the problem is so your first instinct is to blame the testing server or your carrier.

The fact is, that the quality of shared internet service - which means you aren't buying dedicated internet for 10X the cost - can't be determined by speedtests. If you run multiple tests over an extended period to multiple providers that are in different regions, you will have a better idea of what you're really getting. But unless you see a trend across multiple speedtest servers in geographically separate regions spanning a long period of time where speedtests average significantly lower than what you are paying for it's really not a service issue and shouldn't be a problem.

One more things. While a provider could technically fake a speedtest, it serves no purpose. They want to know when there are problems on the network so they can fix them before they become bigger problems. They want happy customers so they don't go elsewhere. With that said, they also get extremely frustrated at the weight most customers put into speedtests and the misinformation surrounding them. We've had people call in complaining about speeds only to find that they had a 10/100 switch in line, or their wifi was on the same channels as 50 others at an apartment building, or they had a bad cable, or jack, and countless other reasons which is why the policies exist that say that if we roll a truck and find it's not us, then you have to pay us.

The Tele2 Speedtest Service helps you test your Internet connection speed through various methods and is available not only to customers of Tele2 but anyone with an Internet connection. Test your connection using speedtest.net's tool, downloading a file via your web browser (HTTP) or downloading and uploading via FTP.

speedtest.net is an easy to use web-based (Flash) test to test both upload and download speeds as well as latency to any of a long list of servers around the world. Tele2 Speedtest servers runs a speedtest.net server. Go to speedtest.net to test your connection. This server (xxx-SPEEDTEST-1) will automatically be picked for you. After the test you can choose a another server and location to perform further testing.

This page and the listed speedtest services are hosted on a number of servers spread through Europe (see locations). Each location consists of a 1U Supermicro server with an octacore Xeon E3-1240 V2 running at 3.4GHz, 32GB of RAM and an Intel 10GE NIC (82579LM chip). Debian Linux is the operating system used, nginx for serving web pages and sparse files via HTTP and vsftpd is used for FTP. A small script called cleandir is used to clean the upload directory of the FTP server to avoid filling the file system with temporary uploaded files.

Anycasting is a technique where a single IP address is used in multiple locations in a network and packets are sent to the closest server. Tele2 speedtest service utilizes this to send you to the closest location in our network. Do note how "closest" is not measured geographically but rather by what our networks thinks is the closest location. Our primary network metric is latency and therefore the closest network distance is typically the closest node geographically but there are situations where ineffecient fiber routing or cuts could lead to you being served by a node further away. In addition to simply serving users using the closest server, anycast also enables basic load balancing and redundancy as users in different areas are served by their closest server, spreading the load over all of our installations. If a server should fail, users would be served by the second closest server.

We have a 1Gb pipe and the normal speedtest.net won't work at that sort of level, we have to rely on a specific version leveraged out by the suppliers (obviously we have to trust them a bit until more Giga test clients are available)

I use Opens a new window, which uploads and downloads files over port 80 to test the ISP more realistically and accurately. I trust their numbers, because they always match what I see in the net flow on our firewall, whereas speedtest.net and others always report higher numbers.
