When I want to see how fast my cable modem connection is I use my favorite website SpeakEasy.net/speedtest. However, since the interface for that site is in Flash, that site doesn't work on iOS devices. So I wanted to find an App that gave me the same look and feel as the SpeakEasy site as well as the consistent results I've grown to depend on from SpeakEasy. I found just such an App and it's a FREE download. It's called SpeedTest.net. Just like my favorite speed test site, this App delivers a great user interface that's easy to read and most importantly it logs your results so that you can compare multiple devices and different connections. As I was running a test, I seemed to remember seeing the Ookla branding somewhere before. As it turns out this App is by the same developer of the speed test on the SpeakEasy.net site. No wonder I like it so much 
So if you're feeling that your data connection is all of a sudden slow, you can test and compare to see if it is or if it's just your imagination. They do a great job showing you if the test was run via a WiFi connection or via your Cellular connection.
