https://myspeedcheck.net/ The MySpeedCheck.net speed test 0 4/5 stars ★★★★☆ Hans van der Graaf Hans van der Graaf
In general, the MySpeedCheck.net 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 MySpeedCheck.net vs Ookla, we will focus on the differences between MySpeedCheck.net'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 MySpeedCheck.net speed test is owned by Softrix Technologies.
The MySpeedCheck.net speed test contains a lot of ads.
