Lol! Omg! Amazing… and free? A world first! How do they do it? /s
I'm going to be honest with you OP, no one will use this.
Speedtest.net will always and be forever used as a reliable Speedtest site.
Surprisingly, I don't use Speedtest or Google's in-built version anymore (unless my ISP needs proof).
I've got a damaged router that slows to a crawl every now and then so I just use fast.com to quickly give me a number. I like that it's a short domain name and there's none of that click to start business.
reliable Speedtest site
fast.com is a better indicator since it randomises where it sources content from, so ISPs can't prioritise the traffic to artificially boost their benchmarks.
Unless I'm missing something, fast.com seems to only measure download speed … not upload speed or latency. Hence its usefulness is not as broad as other speed testing sites.
That's true.
We don't need to measure upload speed in Australia. We simply don't have upload.
LOL WHAT!
you even use the speedtest.net engine to do the test.That's correct, they use Speedtest.net API.
Like I said previously, anyone can do this.
Useless in my opinion.
Anyone can, but it costs $1995 USD per year. It's also not their API. It's a reskin of the standard testing applet or what used to be the flash object that contacts the same servers and has the exact same functionality minus the ability to save and track tests.
There is a free version, but that's just a mini version of their website minus the functionality as above.
Serious question (If you're advertising here, you need to provide
moreinformation before we click on your link):- What do you base your speed tests on?
- Is it a 3MB text file?
- Is it compressed data?
- Tell us what sets you apart from the others?
- Where are your servers located?
- What uplink do you have?
- Are you peering with anyone?
They use Speedtest.net API. They did nothing, essentially.
Anyone can do this, not that hard.
So you essentially disguised ads as News items.
Why is OzBargain enabling this?
Mods are probably asleep at the wheel
Wow, thanks, I didn't know there was such thing and free too. great find ur the best. :(
