http://speedtest.mycci.net/ The MyCCI speed test 0 4/5 stars ★★★★☆ Hans van der Graaf Hans van der Graaf Ookla
In general, the MyCCI 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 MyCCI vs Ookla, we will focus on the differences between MyCCI'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 MyCCI speed test is owned by Consolidated Communications Inc.
The characteristic GO button and logo in the top right corner immediately make it clear that the MyCCI speed test is an Ookla clone.

When to use MyCCI
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 Consolidated Communications Inc. what to do to get the advertised speed you have to test properly and ask Consolidated Communications Inc. which speed test to use.
This because we couldn't find a link to the MyCCI speed test on the Unsolidated Communications Inc. website.
