Really nice improvement over the flash based service. Clean and simple. I like it.

Certainly seems to give more stable results than the flash version - flash version has the upload at almost 60% higher than the download on this connection.

About time. I switched to speedof.me a long time ago because of this. It won't hurt my feelings when flash is a distant memory...Java too for that matter.

Wish Google and Mozilla had given Oracle a reasonable timeframe to implement a PPAPI solution to replace NPAPI, instead of just removing it like they did, incredibly frustrating for those of us working on web app platforms making use of Java Smartcards, which over night ceased to function with no alternative implementation. Thanks Google/Mozilla...not.

The image linking to sharing results is broken as can be seen above, at the moment at least.
