Rather than have ISPs do the testing, we just need a way for customers
to share their own measurements. The FCC can provide a platform where
they can be shared from different test sites.
I just got Sonic 10 Gbps and the installer told me I'm the second person
he's seen use Waveform's bufferbloat speed test. Alas, it hung up on me
in the "warming up" phase so I fell back to Ookla's test. After he left,
I got Waveform's test to work by clearing cookies. (I got a good 900/900
value with an "A" bufferbloat rating without cake enabled. I don't yet
have any 10G gear.) I initially thought uBlock Origin was interfering
with the client scripts so I disabled it but it didn't fix it. Some
googling later gave me the tip to clear cookies. Platform was Firefox on
Win10 x64.
