A long time ago, CZ.NIC started a project called Netmetr, which was performed in cooperation with the Czech Telecommunication Office (CTU). The goal was to provide a reliable Internet connectivity benchmark  that ordinary people can use to verify the parameters of their Internet connection. The cooperation went well and CTU was getting more and more interesting data about the quality of Internet connectivity in the Czech
Republic. Moreover, CTU decided to integrate the service into their systems and maintain it by themselves. They used the open-source software Netmetr and created Nettest – their own instance integrated into their  environment. That unfortunately meant that the Netmetr itself lost its main purpose and it no longer made sense to keep it running.
