How about the average speed a user sees normalized by the amount of data for which they see that speed.
This biases the result toward evening streaming, but that's typically what people care about anyway.
- crazygringo 4y agoBut how are you going to measure that, is my point. A single user can run a speed test at a given point in time, but you can't be running speed tests all the time. The concept of "the average speed a user sees" -- there isn't an obvious way to me for how an ISP could calculate that for even a single customer, let alone across the whole network. Which is why I'm curious if there are network experts who have ideas of how you could even define it in a way that is both relatively accurate and practical to implement.
- eppp 4y agoOur system can run random speed tests on segments of the fiber onts at various times and produce such reports.
