Did you ever fear that any big player like Google, Apple, Valve (though fewer mobiles), Meta, OpenAI (nowadays), etc decide to get involved?

Apple has their own internal speed app due to privacy concerns.

    And on macOS Apple has `networkQuality` on the command line which runs a speed test against presumably the iCloud servers

      Gotta collect that data on how the services perform. lol

      Snark aside, at least they have tight data controls and don’t sell that information.

      But I don’t really have a lot of faith in the whole story and/or some of the management inside. Yeah there usually is always two sides to the coin. But tbh It’s too secretive. There has to be something there outside of simply “protecting the surprise.”
