by

SpeedtestOokla has updated its Speedtest.net iOS app with iPhone 5 support, the ability to remove advertising with a $0.99 in-app purchase, improved server selection and easier sharing -- since the whole point of an app that measures the connection speed is so users can gloat to their friends.

- Completely new interface with full iPhone 5 support
- Option to permanently remove advertising

Is there any doubt that AT&T and Verizon have "preferential" connections to these speed test servers thus giving higher #s?

Do you have any evidence to back that up?
