Has anyone used this before and if so, what are your results?​

How This Test Works​


First we test the latency of your internet connection. Then we compare the results to a latency test performed while running a download speed test and an upload speed test.

If the latency increases while the upload or download tests are happening, your router/networking equipment suffers from bufferbloat.

Yes I've used it, its a useful tool among many to work on a network.

What other tools do you like for a small workgroup network? I've looked at tools that require a server setup and seem to assume Active Directory is present
 
I was really using it to test qos. The first test had no qos and the second did. The ping were better with qos on, it costs about 200mbps.
 
Yes.
I use it to test SQM.
I am running a Mikrotik RB5009upr as my router, using FQ_Codel for SQM in Queue trees - my connection is 500/50 on fibre to the premises, I get about 535/47ish without SQM but obviously with higher latency when downloading. (Note I am in Australia, on Leaptel) - a better test is the cloudflare test https://speed.cloudflare.com/

Note that this test was made while my wife was WFH (through a VPN) and I was actively torrenting and streaming through Plex.

Pretty much exactly what I expected.
 
I noticed that Cox tripled the upload speeds, was 35Mbps in the past.
