DigitalOcean speed test domains no longer available

[CM2Walki]

The DigitalOcean domains: speedtest-$DC.digitalocean.com are no longer resolving.

Does anyone have an alternative that doesn't involve starting your own droplets for a simple ping test?

I would be very interested in knowing a way to speed test DigitalOcean's datacenters as well 👀

the one thing i figured (and this only works for a ping test, not a speed test), is to change the ping address to their Spaces product.

Edit https://github.com/jakejarvis/datacenter-speed-tests/blob/215f36338172cbc40a34d71b219a60deb72f779f/ping.sh#L8

and change the speedtest-$DC.digitalocean.com to $DC.digitaloceanspaces.com

worked for me, although not every datacenter has a Spaces datacenter...
