Redesigned 'Speedtest.net' App Released, Improved Server Selection and Sharing

by

SpeedtestOokla has updated its Speedtest.net iOS app with iPhone 5 support, the ability to remove advertising with a $0.99 in-app purchase, improved server selection and easier sharing -- since the whole point of an app that measures the connection speed is so users can gloat to their friends.

The app allows users to check their ping, upload and download speeds from servers located all over the world.

What's New in Version 3.0

- Completely new interface with full iPhone 5 support
- Option to permanently remove advertising
- Easier result sharing
- Improved server selection and saving
- Sortable results
- See your testing location in results detail
- This release is English only and translations will come in the next update

Speedtest.net Mobile Speed Test is a free download from the App Store. [Direct Link]

Is there any doubt that AT&T and Verizon have "preferential" connections to these speed test servers thus giving higher #s?

Do you have any evidence to back that up?
