Nice tool.

Here is a test from France.

There are not so many servers in Europe I guess.

>> Go to: https://www.dslreports.com/speedtest and click the button for your Internet link. This controls the number of simultaneous connections that get established between your browser and the speedtest server. After you run the test, click the green "Results + Share" button to see detailed info. For the moment, you need to be logged in to see the latency results. There's a "register" link on each page.
