Very useful – Cloudcheck Review

Both this app and the allied Wi-Fi SweetSpots are useful. The latter only checks the speed of your own Wi-Fi and does not measure the ISP speed. Cloudcheck measures both. It is likely that most users have far faster speeds within their Wi-Fi network than the speed from their Wi-Fi system to the ISP. If you understand the difference you will get more mileage. I used the Wi-Fi speed check to adjust the location of my second AirPort Extreme and this increases my local speeds from about 50Mbps to 200Mbs, just by moving the Airport 5 feet. For larger locations this feature will help you place your second Wi-Fi unit in an optimal position, or if you only have one Wi-Fi router, see where you should be for fastest Wi-Fi. Moving the router or your device a few feet can make a big difference. Measuring ISP speeds is always variable as each tool gives quite different speeds eg Speedtest VS Cloud Check or Netflix’sFast.com etc (due to different servers, times and other factors). So when the ISP says your equipment is the cause of any slow speeds, you can now check to see if that is true or not and if the bottleneck is with the ISP and/or the internet. As we all know, ISP speeds never or rarely match their advertised speeds due to shared nodes and multiple users competing for the same Internet access etc. If you realize that tools like Speedtest check speed to and from the ISP to your modem/router and then to your devices by Wi-Fi,the process makes sense. Get this app and experiment. It works as advertised.
