In their own words
nPerf
nPerf is an internet connection measurement service for speed, latency, browsing, streaming, and mobile signal strength. Its speed test uses a worldwide network of dedicated servers and an algorithm to measure download speed, upload speed, and latency. Mobile apps offer separate speed, browsing, and streaming tests, keep test history with map locations, and allow results to be shared. nPerf says these tests can use up to two times less data than competing tests and include a configurable data threshold indicator. PC and Mac applications test connections up to 10 Gb/s. Free services include tests, instant comparisons, and speed and mobile coverage maps; an account adds web dashboards, statistics, and cloud backup. Premium costs $2 a year. For telecom operators, Analytics supplies crowdsourced network data, more than 250 KPIs, live analysis, and raw data export. The service is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows.
