Running skill gave a wrong speed test compared to the web page. I have a 500/500 internet connection. Skill always returns below that. If I do the test on the web interface I get these results
while doing the test through the skill the results are quite lower
My bet is speedtest isn't grabbing the proper server to do the tests. On the command line utility I could see when I run speedtest without selecting the server, it grabs one based on "ping" (my bet it is grabbing one of the nearer servers, and then making a ping to see the timeout, and not doing a ping to all the servers).
On the following capture I'm showing two random tests using cli
against this location
and this other
against this other location
while if I select my server (I choosed my own's ISP server located on my city)
I know this is a limitation of the speedtest tool, but perhaps would be great to let specify the server to get the most accurate speed test, wouldn't it?
