And as I've found in testing ookla favours a peak figure, we feature an average figure. Old record but that an the 1024 vs 1000 usually explains all the differences when I plot the data seen by both testers.

What explains the differences between the TBB Flash and Java testers?

Using wifi hence not hitting full 80Mbps as my signals not amazing in here.
It's always like this. Downloads etc agree with the speedtest.net result

Some difference there.. lol both done within 2mins of each other

Java and flash versions. Some people get same results on both, and others don't.
So it could be the AV suite people are running, some are finding that turning off AV can help boost speeds.
In short I can spend time writing and testing new speed tester software or I can spend time trying to get the old java working, only to have to change it again when next java/av updates bork us again

I think a native HTML5 speed tester makes more sense that a proprietary legacy system.
Doesn't Adobe Edge offer a migration path from Flash to HTML5?

If you want the pretty graphics and not the data to be the driving force

I was thinking it would be easier to migrate the flash app which works rather than the java app which doesn't. The graphics aren't as important as cross-platform compatibility - HTML5 is supported by all platforms.

HTML5 is not supported by all browsers, and ask any one who has written any, and they vary widely in how well it works from browser version to browser version.
I would talk about what the actual plans are, and where I was with them, if I did not believe that others might lift the ideas

HTML5 is supported by Firefox, IE, Chrome, Webkit, OSX, Linux, Windows Phone, IOS and Android. Seems to be just what you need to have a speedtest that works on all platforms.
But there's nothing worse than having free software copied and licensed by others.
