    I prefer to use the ookla sppedtest CLI version. No bs but also better server coverage

        Also the ISP probably knows most of the servers speedtest owns and accelerate speeds for them along with other popular speed test websites, while throttling other regular connections.

            As somebody who once worked at an ISP: they absolutely do that, and it isn’t illegal. In fact, ISP’s host many of Ookla’s speedtest servers. The less infrastructure your test needs to go through, the better the results will be—there’s nothing faster than a network that’s communicating with itself.
