  • Understand what's tested

    The software works great and as intended. This is meant to test your local home network, not your ISP speeds outside of the home. If you want to test those speeds, just download speedtest or go to speedtest.net and push Go. This is to help troubleshoot pesky home wifi or cable runs that are causing problems.
  • False results if not Fraudulent

    This app and the corresponding website gives false Internet speed test results if not fraudulent results. My Internet is 1Gb fiber, but this test consistently gives results almost 10Gb/s which is not possible.

    Please read the product description. As it clearly mentions, this is OpenSpeedTest Server App. You can run this app on your phone/laptop/desktop (acting as a SpeedTest server) and use it to test your network speed from any device within your network that has a web browser.
  • ???

    I run this and it gives me basicly the same results every time. My upload is higher then my download, makes no sense. when I run the test the bandwith monitor of my router shows absolutly no activity, not the case with other test progrqams I ran, they always show activity. Maybe its me, but I don't see how this thing does anything!

    Thanks for the great review! I'm glad you're enjoying my app.
  • Great tool for testing my router, easy to learn

    My wireless router seems to be disconnecting every few minutes sometimes, so I'm really happy to have found this app that can run a continuous test over various periods of time, then I can have data to send to my ISP so they'll fix my router. Thanks for making this user-friendy, I was up and running within minutes.

  • Simple and open source

    This only had one rating and the description here didn't really do it justice. Check out the developers site for a better overview. This is an excellent solution for comparitive speed assessment on your local LAN (and can be used beyond that). I installed it (the application is "the server") on my wired Mac Studio and then test the network speeds from all of my laptops, iPad, and iPhones around the house to assess WiFi connectivity and performance with a simple browser connection. Great stuff.
