| 1483963 | 2022-01-25 23:36:00 | Which FREE Speed test App you guys recommend for Android phones, preferably without ads? Speedtest by Ookla has may negative reviews -- too much ads, not accurate , consumes battery ... etc. |

| 1483964 | 2022-01-26 00:23:00 | MOST free android apps have some sort of adware, in app purchases or just data stealing . The days of developers writing GOOD apps for free are pretty much gone . I use the Ookla app , it works . You'll get negative comments on every app ever written . Its only the complainers you hear from, those happy with the app dont bother to comment . |

| 1483966 | 2022-01-26 04:31:00 | Can’t you just go to the chorus site and use the one in the browser? You’re testing over WiFi anyway so it’s never going to be your highest speed. www.chorus.co.nz |

| 1483968 | 2022-01-26 19:46:00 | Sometimes you do want to test speed across wifi . eg to test at different locations in the house or see if wifi is slow as balls It will give you the speed via wifi - on that device , but not speed of your internet connection |

| 1483969 | 2022-01-26 21:07:00 | In that case then you'd be better off running a local speed test to a wired PC on the LAN. Especially if you're setting up a super fast Wi-Fi router, where the results could be skewed by your internet connection being slower! |

| 1483970 | 2022-01-26 21:52:00 | I use the speedtest at testmy.net It's versatile, and does real downloads and uploads to check the speed. The closest server is in Sydney, on last checking, but thats ok. | rumpty (2863) | ||
