    The sourceForge speed test would be well suited in most scenarios. From simply measuring your speed when connecting to new networks to trying to diagnose network issues at your house, workplace or any other environment where you may have spotty internet connection. I'd say is not well suited to get perfectly accurate results if needed for any type of network monitoring.

    The main reason why we selected the SourceForge speed test at my job was due the company's heavy and aggressive website whitelisting. The sourceForge speed test was one of the few tests we tried that was able to work fine within our restricted network. Plus it was easy to ready, even to my boss.

    • We know when the network is congested so we adapt our workflow accordingly.
    • It allowed identification of inconsistencies with the service provided by the ISP.
    • Switching ISPs allowed us to save 10% in our monthly internet bill, while receiving a better service.
