Better way to test internet connection speed
Posted: Thu Nov 15, 2018 11:45 pm
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.
