Ookla Speedtest

Run an Ookla speedtest on the cellular connection: download, upload, latency, jitter.

Run a full Ookla speedtest over the SIM's data connection: download and upload throughput, latency, jitter, and packet loss, against the same servers the public Speedtest app uses. The single most complete bandwidth measurement available on a SIM.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
Use default serverNoLet Ookla pick the closest server. Default: on.
Server hostnameWhen default server is offA specific Ookla server to test against.

Plus the shared connection settings.

Results and metrics

In the action report (result):

FieldDescription
download.throughput_bps, download.bytes, download.elapsed_msDownload throughput, volume, and duration.
upload.throughput_bps, upload.bytes, upload.elapsed_msUpload throughput, volume, and duration.
ping.latency_ms, ping.jitter_msLatency and jitter to the test server.
packet_loss_percentPacket loss during the test.
serverThe Ookla server used: name, location, host, IP.
ispThe operator as seen by Ookla.

In Analytics, each run feeds the speedtest measurement with download_throughput_bps, upload_throughput_bps, latency_ms, jitter_ms, packet_loss_percent, and the transferred volumes, tagged by status, server (name, location, country), ISP, APN, antenna, and access technology.
