The NCHU speed test (Gone) ★★★★☆
In general, the NCHU speed test (NCHU stands for National Chung Hsing University) was not a recommended speed test, mainly because this speed test was 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 NCHU vs Ookla, we focus on the differences between NCHU'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 NCHU speed test was owned by the NCHU.
