How do I check my internet speed in Ookla? Both the app and website deliver the same information. Instead, you can type the URL into your web browser to test your internet speed on the official website. You do not have to download and install an app to use Speedtest by Ookla. You can use Speedtest on Android, Apple TV, CLI, Google Chrome, iOS, Mac, and Microsoft Windows PC devices. The cross-platform software is available on command line, desktops, mobile phones, smart TVs, tablets, and web browsers. The test results that you will get from Speedtest by Ookla are accurate. They had no explanation as to why spectrums online speed test was showing the results to be so much slower.Speedtest by Ookla is an industry-standard for internet connection test results. I called spectrum, they claimed to be able to check my speed at my modem from their end to which it measured 238 Mbps. Not sure why spectrum and at&t were so far off of the others. I tested 12 different speed tests through my browser including spectrum and at&t 8 times each, results for each stayed consistent throughout the tests. Only at&t had as bad of results as spectrum.

Most of the others i just tested had between 185 and 265.

Now to the speed tests, spectrum speed test over a browser currently shows 65 Mbps while ookla shows 246 Mbps. Could be too many users on the node, poor connections in the cabling or any number of causes. This can be confirmed by asking spectrum engineers directly as i did. Anything short of those speeds indicate an actual problem. Not the speeds measured leaving their servers.

The speeds advertised are what you should receive at the tap. I have no clue how these things get calculated but if they guarantee a range of speeds to their customers then those are the speeds you should get, regardless of any outside factors that have been spoken of or insinuated. I read this and couldnt help remembering how i pulled my hair out over speed tests in the past, near past. I have spectrum internet, for me im supposed to get up to 250 Mbps if i remember correctly.
