Internet Quality Test

[ponder]

@ponder your idle should line up with Waveform now. I'm less confident about the F, the server noise on its own does not account for a swing that big, so if it still grades badly after a retest give me a shout and I'll dig further.

It's working fine now, getting A+, +0.3 ms latency under load, 1ms jitter.

Seems fixed.

I have build a Internet Quality Test tool.

A speed test tells you how many Mbps you get; this tool test tells you whether your line actually holds up when it gets busy. It measures your latency on a quiet line, then again while deliberately saturating your download and upload, and grades the difference, called bufferbloat, from A+ to F.

Anyone interested can have a look here:

Internet Quality & Bufferbloat Test (South Africa)

Free internet quality test for South Africa. Measure bufferbloat, jitter and latency under load in your browser and see if your line handles calls and gaming.

Testing under load makes total sense. A high speed tier does not help much if bufferbloat spikes latency the moment multiple devices start streaming or downloading.
