BSNL removed Broadband Speed Test Servers hosted in association with M/s Ookla and requested not use Ookla Speed test servers for testing

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has decided to stop Broadband Speed Test servers hosted in association with M/s Ookla. As we reported earlier, the PSU activated four new Speed Test Server sites for its broadband (ADSL / VDSL / FTTH / WiMax / 3G) customers in all the four zones. Now, it has come to the notice of BSNL management that these speed test sites which were commissioned with the help of franchisee model of M/s Ookla are advertising BSNL's competitors on the same web page.

Hence it has decided by the BSNL authorities to stop the above speed test server sites which were hosted in association with M/s Ookla. BSNL authorities also requested not to use these server sites for testing purpose in future.

In October 2015, BSNL commissioned the above Speed Test Server sites for its customers and field units to check and resolve broadband speed complaints. The results obtained from these server sites were mainly used to analyse the slow speed complaints of customers and to take remedial actions in BSNL Broadband network elements.

Customers complaining about slow broadband speed complaints were also advised to test their connection speed with Ookla speed test servers.
