ZDNET's key takeaways

• Ookla, a top internet speed test service, now offers venue Wi-Fi certifications.
• The certification service is still rolling out.
• Once in place, you should look for hotels and business locations with Speedtest Certified ratings.

You might pick your hotel for its location or price, but one of the things I consider is whether its Wi-Fi is fast and reliable. I make my living working online. If I can't count on a speedy connection, I'm in trouble. So I was intrigued when I heard network performance specialist Ookla announce the launch of Speedtest Certified, a new connectivity verification program designed to help property owners and businesses prove the quality of their network infrastructure.
