Abstract: A network device receives, from a client device, a request to perform a network speed test of a network connecting the client device and the network device. The network device conducts a trial test, involving data delivery between the network device and the client device, to determine an approximate capacity of the network. The network device selects an optimum data size based on results of the trial test, and selects a number of threads needed to saturate the network based on the results of the trial test. The network device controls conducting of the network speed test, using a control thread from the network device to the client device, wherein the network speed test utilizes the optimum data size and the selected number of threads.

Abstract: A request is received for information relating to a service being provided to a customer premises. A network address of a device from which the request was received is determined. The network address is used to access customer data associated with the address. In addition to the requested information relating to the service, at least one notification is provided based on the customer data and including information relating to the customer premises, billing and payment information associated with the customer premises, a list of one or more equipment included in the customer premises, a list of one or more equipment suggested for the customer premises, and a list of one or more additional services suggested for the customer premises.
