A third party opinion is necessary and the provider shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the process. When providers host their own speed tests they eliminate the variables that you're here to test.
Namely the Internet route itself. This test is unbiased, it tests and grades all providers on the same criteria. They want you to think your connection is running perfectly Other speed tests, especially tests offered by your Internet provider try to eliminate routing factors. This can make your connection appear faster than it really is. Truthfully, do you want to know how fast your connection is within your providers network or do you want to know how fast it is to the locations where the websites you visit are being hosted?
Do you want to research connection speed for Terabyte. This server will automatically be picked for you. After the test you can choose a another server and location to perform further testing.
The Tele2 Speedtest service is distributed over multiple machines spread across locations in Europe. You can specifically select another test node from the below list if you want to perform tests towards a particular location. This page and the listed speedtest services are hosted on a number of servers spread through Europe see locations. 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.
TCP windows have been slightly tweaked to support higher throughput. Compression has been disabled. 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. The servers can sustain throughput around 10 Gbps, as an example, here is a wget from another host in Tele2's network:.
