Looks great!

GitHub repo here: https://github.com/egcodes/speedTestApp

It seems to use speedtest.net servers [0]. That's convenient (many servers around the globe), but, on the other hand – i'm not sure if Ookla would be happy about it. They display a lot of ads in their web [1] and mobile app [2], presumably to pay for a part of bandwidth costs…

Thanks.

I dont think it's a problem. Otherwise I think it would be protected by authentication methods.
