Speedtest by Ookla

When I run the speed test, I don't want anything else pulling on my bandwidth, so I can get an accurate reading. If it seems like my response time is bad, everything else gets closed, and the tester can identify if there's a problem. That's what its for and it does a great job. I like that I can specify a location to run the ping to, and get varying results. Thank you Ookla!

Lots of folks are having trouble finding the pingtest results which show the jitter and data loss. Go into the summary and double click the line. It will show you the jitter and possibly the packet loss. It doesn't give you a grade for either so you don't know if 23.5ms jitter is good or not so you have to go figure that out. It'd be nice if it gave you guidelines like pingtest.net did. I'm not having any issues with accuracy or consistency as others have experienced. The only reason I even downloaded it is because pingtest.net went away. Decent app; better if it gave you more info for quality tests.

Add a quick speed test in quick launch of taskbar too than an app for PC. Much appreciated.

I have a SpeedTest.net account, where I've been accumulating test results for a number of years. Neither of the Windows 10 apps (the desktop app or this UWP app) will allow me to sign into that account. So even though the apps themselves store their *own* results, I can't aggregate them anymore like I can when I use the website. Also, both of the Windows 10 apps don't show my IP address in the results anymore, whereas the website does. If you're going to go to the trouble of writing these apps, please make sure you can do the same things that you can do on the website, or else why bother?

Simple, fast and accurate.
