Nice start, but... – FCC Speed Test Review

Verizon FiOS ISP was having some issues that caused the app to hang forever several times when about 3/4 of the way through the download test. Inconsistent upload results: "speedtest app" shows 40Mbps upload but FCC shows 5Mbps. It is possible that MBps is being displayed instead of the labeled Mbps. Download speed seems to track pretty well though. This app chooses the nearest test server inconsistently. I am in NY, it regularly chooses Washington and Chicago and sometimes NY. Would be nice to have a real-time indication of the measured throughput (rather than having to wait until each test is completed). I am happy to have the FCC get the speed data and wonder if they could include "packet shaping" tests and tests to common servers to keep tabs on peering health and ISP honesty. Good start but room for improvement.
