In general, Bing's Internet speed test is not a recommended speed test, mainly because this speed test is a clone of Ookla's Speedtest.

Ookla's Speedtest and its clones are accurate, use a lot of data and take a relatively long time to complete.

These three features account for 70% of the overall score we give to a speed test. It is therefore not surprising that almost all clones of Ookla's Speedtest have the same overall score.

For a proper comparison between Bing's Internet speed test vs Ookla, we will focus on the differences between Bing's Internet speed test's speed test and Ookla's.

Since there are so many Ookla clones, we have created a separate list of Ookla clones for this purpose.
