Speed Test by Cloudflare

speed.cloudflare.com is a tool that allows you to measure the speed and consistency of your connection to the Internet. You can use it to verify that the speed your ISP promised you is the speed you are getting.
Pricing:
- Open Source
Apple's "networkQuality" tool (or the open source alternative that you can run in other operating systems: https://github.com/network-quality/goresponsiveness, but any test that shows latency under load is OK, like https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat or https://fast.com[1]) and then combine it with "networkQuality" running concurrently (if possible, from a different host) and see how it impacts the numbers. Of course, this only makes sense if you, for example, have your own router running OpenWRT where you can enable active queue management (SQM/AQM) where you can actually <i>do something</i> to improve the results. [1] In more recent times I'm finding fast.com to be a bit unreliable, as some ISPs may treat Netflix traffic specially (like allowing for longer bursts over contracted speeds, etc. — net neutrality notwithstanding).
