http://iinet.speedtestcustom.com/ The iiNet speed test 0 2/5 stars ★★☆☆☆ Hans van der Graaf Hans van der Graaf
In general, the iiNet 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 generally 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 iiNet vs Ookla, we will focus on the differences between iiNet'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.
The iiNet speed test is owned by iiNet Limited.
Pros
The iiNet speed test has the following pros:
- Significant less cookies than Ookla (1 instead of 21)
- Ad-free
- Focus on the Go button with one tab
- Zero Wave errors (instead of 2)
Cons
The iiNet speed test has the following cons:
- No link to Ookla's privacy policy
- The connection is not secure
- Not possible to select a nearby local server
- Unlike other speed tests that don't allow local test server, the measured speed is way too low
- We couldn't find this speed test at iiNet's webpage Broadband Internet Speed Test
When to use iiNet
If you just want to know what your internet speed is, then read our advice for a better speed than this Ookla clone.
If you want to ask iiNet Limited what to do to get the advertised speed you have to test properly.
Preferably you use this speed test and perform this test on several days.
Keep in mind that your home network is usually the bottleneck.
