I've noticed this as well, except with fast.com

I will fire up the laptop, be getting 3.2-12 mbps, all of a sudden a fast.com speed test starts of sluggish and ramps up to 120-200 mbps.

Go figure. It happens every time, on multiple occasions, devices, browsers, all using the same internet connection and frequency.



I'm surprised, I thought it was run by Netflix so that they'd also have to boost all Netflix traffic. Maybe they are doing DPI? Netflix also has a "test video" somewhere that is probably a more representative test.


I'm happy and yet disappointed to see I'm not the only one this works for.

Video bufferring frequently? Start a speedtest, problem (temporarily) solved!
