The problem is you got the name wrong.  It's "RootMetrics", a company that's been publishing  network data gathered from corowdsourced and independent data gathering groups for over 15 years. 

They were bogut by Ookla a few years back, to expand Ookla's extensive and extremely reliable network/systems  monitoring platforms. 


You talk about checking facts for yourself, then you make statements that clearly indicate you don't practice  what you preach
