Nighthawk App vs Ookla App speed differences

Speed tests are really not always reliable. My ISP, Spectrum, has its OWN Ookla site even. Why? Because it measures TRUE SPEED on thier network. No outside delays, such as long routings, packet loss, jitter, caused by normal traffic on the web.

Want to see better speeds, go to https://speedof.me/, it shows 20% faster than my ISP delivers... due to the methods it uses.

Don't forget (as you know) the wireless difference and the device difference.

I consider the test result only an indicator of if my ISP is working. Off from rated speed by 20% (and I don't know the reason) then I contact the ISP. Wireless, even AC devices might not be able to handle full GB speeds, where a wired GB device will come close.
