The Tiscali Italia speed test

https://testspeed.tiscali.it/ The Tiscali Italia speed test 0 4/5 stars ★★★★☆ Hans van der Graaf

In general, the Tiscali Italia speed test is not a recommended speed test, mainly because this speed test is a clone of Ookla's Speedtest.

Ookla

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.
