Speedtest results inaccurate #38

Closed georgeoommen closed 4 years ago

georgeoommen commented 4 years ago

Followed the instructions to install and update the Speedtest mod for pi-hole, however the results I'm getting are very very inaccurate.

Try running speedtest-cli from console .

why are they so inaccurate? (don't forget the limits of the R-Pi Lan)

arevindh commented 4 years ago

This Project is based on speedtest-cli. The text below is from their repository readme file.

It is not a goal of this application to be a reliable latency reporting tool.

Latency reported by this tool should not be relied on as a value indicative of ICMP style latency. It is a relative value used for determining the lowest latency server for performing the actual speed test against.

There is the potential for this tool to report results inconsistent with Speedtest.net. There are several concepts to be aware of that factor into the potential inconsistency:

  1. Speedtest.net has migrated to using pure socket tests instead of HTTP based tests
  2. This application is written in Python
  3. Different versions of Python will execute certain parts of the code faster than others
  4. CPU and Memory capacity and speed will play a large part in inconsistency between Speedtest.net and even other machines on the same network

Issues relating to inconsistencies will be closed as wontfix and without additional reason or context.

Am running it on R-Pi. It’s lan limitation must be the issue. Will test on another machine and report back of issue continues.
