Better way to test internet connection speed

Post by GlytchMeister »

ATTENTION:

Use Fast.com to check your internet speed - ISP’s prioritize traffic to speedtest.net, so it isn’t an accurate measure of connection speed when browsing non-prioritized or competitor websites.

ISP’s cannot do this to fast.com because it’s netflix - meaning they’d have to prioritize connection speed to Netflix to inflate the test speed, and many ISP’s absolutely do not want to prioritize Netflix traffic.

Got some feedback elsewhere that it may not be as good as I’ve been told.

Well it’s another option, at least
