Alternative(s) to Speedtest?

Fogmatic · 2015-06-04 10:20:42

For checking my connection speeds I always used Speedtest, which requires Flash Player. Are there any alternatives that don't? (I've tried an old bookmark for Onspeed, which I though had a speed checker, but it doesn't seem to).

Try the speedtest beta site.

It doesnt seem to be available all the time though. Sometime seems to bounce back to the regular site for no apparent reason.
