Internet Speed Test –FiberTest

This app was working fine, up to a few Days, ago. Now, it’s not even Showing Inside the app, cause once you try to do a test…the app Disappears! Developer…if you’ve Abandoned your app, Please just Say so, & Remove it! If you’re Not going to Stand Behind your App, we’ll be just fine without it!! Thank you.

I use a few other speed-tests that also give me the location and server the app is using to measure my up/dl speeds. They select the closest test server based on my location. If a server is a great distance away from your location, your speeds will show as much lower. This app fails to allow you to see what location it is using and thus, nor do I have any control of choosing multiple servers based on distance and performance for my tests. I have a stable 1GB service with ~850mbps dl/950mbps ul using wifi, wired is even faster. This “Internet Speed Test-FiberTest” app speed app shows my speeds at about 50% less than they really are and that’s due to it using the wrong server location which is probably a long distance away (several States or more). I suggest avoiding this app and using OOKLA, and either the OOKLA app for iphone/ipad or visit/use their website. Their speeds ARE accurate and do compare accurately to other apps I use that produce an accurate result. Also consider doing Packet Loss tests for your connection. you want to be sure no data is being lost in data transfer. There’s websites and apps to do this for free. Once you verify Packet Loss is ZERO, than you can proceed to do a speed test, knowing that your internet connection is very stable.

I have been using this App for years on AppleTV and iPhone. I wish they would release it for M1 Mac. Some additional data, like ping/latency retained on screen would be nice also. The upload data is almost always twice that of Ookla’s speed test.
