Google Speed Test

No only that - NDT is not even an actual speed test*. That it continues to show as the top sponsored result for "speed test" searches is a real shame.

* It does not test the aggregate throughput of a connection, merely what one TCP connection can achieve. It is actually a diagnostic tool for network issues, not a speed test tool. There are many academic papers on this point.

Searching Google for speed test presents a speedtest that runs on MLab, which doesn't necessarily run on Google's network.

Subject: Google Speed Test

Does AS15169 have a speed test? It would be nice to gauge the capacity to a particular network that's something laypeople could do. I could host something in GCP myself, but cloud is expensive.
