In case it's not obvious, there's lots of *.speedtestcustom sites. They're a "private label" version of Ookla's speedtest.net without the ads. I think the backend is the same.

You're right, a lot of them are from Ookla, but not all.

I think we can measure latency with a ping (for example ping google.com -t), and compare it to the one given by the speed tests. The closest will be the best
