They will have to market the heck out of this in order for people to use it. Everyone I know just defaults to www.speedtest.net.
1. Now that they have this tool out, will the FCC actually listen to any feedback and pursue ISP's who don't live up to their claims?
2. Is this just a study of some sort? Are the FCC not allowed to use existing databases like Speedtest.net?
3. Doesn't it say all over an ISP's EULA that the speeds are "UP TO ***Mbps" and that throughput "MAY BE LESS" under extreme usage?
Seems like a government spending project to me. Then again, most people need something to complain about, and refuse to RTFM...
