Last time I checked, the Ookla Speedtest Custom software license
required for a local server installation (e.g. not using the public
speedtest servers) started at ~$2k/year. That does not include the
speedtest server hardware which may run you another $2k or more if
you want to meet the minimum recommended specs for a gigabit
speedtest. Perhaps an initial investment of $4k and a reoccurring
$2k/year is inexpensive for some, but I can imagine some folks will
struggle to find the value at that price point.<br>
