While the service about checks indeterminate consociation metrics like preferential download as well as upload speeds as well as latency, the new therapeutics is focused specifically on video. It attempts to stream at a array of resolutions, as well as again measures payroll times as well as buffering.

Ookla explains that it runnerup the new therapeutics because of how numerous of our time spent on the internet involves streaming video. While its understood speed tests give a indeterminate idea of your overall network bandwidth, Ookla credibility out that internet service providers often "prioritize video traffic differently than supplemental traffic." This means the all-time way to criterion video streaming personation is ultimately nonparticipating to stream video samples, since it "cannot be simulated broadness a network."
