Netflix is hosting a speed-test website
named Fast.com, and the cool domain is purchased recently. The one-word,4
letters domain name must be costing a lot of money, and why Netflix is doing
so?
Because Netflix received quite a lot of complains
about their service, and most of them access to low internet speed lend to unexpected
results. Therefore, capricious Netflix launched its own speed test site to stop
customers from blaming them.
As to Fast.com, the results are pretty
basic - just showing your download speed from Netflix's server. There is no
upload speed, ping, and ISP info, but it works quickly. You can go to the site
and it runs automatically.
That’s all it does. It is a free serviceand works in any country, and you don’t have to be a Netflix user to try it.
Compared to Fast.com, Speedtest.net
provides more detailed metrics. In most cases, the download speed should be
very similar to what you get from Fast.com. There is something different when I
try to test..
What's more, Speedtest.net also provides
data for all internet users, like FASTEST ISPS & MOBILE NETWORKS in your
country.
You can try any speed test tools above to
check whether your ISP is cheating you on a daily basis. But bear in mind that
actual internet download speed is not what the provider advertises. Your
device, system and lots of things can affect internet speed.
