Ookla, the world's most popular website for testing internet speed is being accused of cheating by users who say their real-life speeds are much faster than what they get on their Ookla-provided results. Speedtest by Ookla users perform a Speedtest that measures the performance of both fixed and mobile operators, then they analyze and reveal the results.The Ookla broadband speed test, also known as the Net Index Broadband Speed Test, informally known as "Speedtest", and formerly called "Broadband Reports" or simply "BT" (standing for bandwidth test), is a system for testing the true download speed of an internet connection over a period of time.
Ookla places more emphasis on the median because that is the speed most customers experience on a daily basis. Ookla takes speeds from the 10th percentile, 50th percentile (used as the median) and 90th percentile, then combines them in a weighted average using a 1:8:1 ratio, respectively. The Speed Score uses a modified trimean to demonstrate the download and upload speeds that are available across a provider’s network.
Because most of the data transferred over the internet involves downloading, 90% of the final Speed Score is attributed to download speed and the remaining 10% to upload speed. Speedtest Award winners are determined using a Speed Score that incorporates a measure of each provider’s download and upload speeds to rank network speed performance. It also reflects that consumers have been adopting our new and higher speed offerings,” he said.
“Having won this distinction after the hurricanes, the earthquakes and now the COVID-19 pandemic during which Puerto Rico needed optimum bandwidth connection to work and study efficiently from home, makes us very happy because it is a validation of the effective and hard work of our entire team.
