Worth noting, similar things being done here: https://atlas.ripe.net with real-world examples (measurements from peoples home internet accounts, workplaces, etc - not 'sponsored' vms, not from some random data centre) and measuring just about anything (DNS and websites)

You can join, host a probe (get it sent to you, plug it in) and then run your own measurement tests based on the 'credits' you earn from having the probe running.

Nice! Just signed up to host a probe but looks like they'll only send you one if they don't already have good coverage of your location/network. Not holding out much hope as afaict Europe is already pretty much blanketed :(
