Re: [Bloat] Has any one seen the VSee Network Stability Test?

[Rich Brown <richb.hanover@gmail.com>]

Update: I heard back from VSee support. They were quite clear that they do NOT wish to share their code, nor to make their server side a public API.

My questions:

- Is the existing 1.0.4 version (https://test.vsee.com/network/index.html) "good enough" for widespread testing? 

- Does anyone know of a similar test setup that makes source code available?

Many thanks.

PS I made a short code for the URL: bit.ly/VSee

The "VSee Network Stability Test" is a web page that continually monitors the quality of your network connection so you can determine whether your Zoom call crapped out because of a network problem. (VSee provides telehealth services, and I imagine they created this test so they could blame someone else...)
