Monitoring: actual speed rather than connection speed.
« on: November 16, 2013, 09:30:42 AM »

Throughput speeds vary, but there seems to be no app that can monitor those automatically at regular intervals. Are there any?

I'm not aware of any program which can do that. I see that the speedof.me speedtest site has an API which can be called from a web page, so this could be built into an application. But it sounds to me like quite a bit of programming work for very little return.

Does JDs Speedtester do what you want?

Theres a screen cap of it running on my PC earlier this year, at the bottom of the speedtesters page.

I'll have a gander, but the question was rather more inquisitive than out of need. I'vr been wondering too what, apart from speed, is the advantage of FTTC, or what are the pros and cons of dual band routers.

I need to keep my brain going ( and waste others' time ;).
