[c-nsp] Internet speed

[Brian Turnbow]

Hi,

Here in Italy  the ministry of telecommunications has built a system for 
consumers to "certify" the speed of their connection.
Most of the information is  in Italian on the site
https://www.misurainternet.it/
Basically they have placed servers is the major IXs and end users can 
download the client runs tests and obtain a "certification" that can be used 
against the isp for breach of contract if the speeds are lower than 
contracted .


The software is based upon ETSI EG 202 765-4, not y.1564,  and at least the 
client side is open source with some English notes etc.
