It's Netflix. It literally says so on the page. They released this years ago. It's ... okay. It's not as comprehensive as SpeedTest.

Well netflix will get blamed for shite speeds and speed test by the ISP comppnay them selves of course will want to show as high a number as possible.

@jonossaseuraava Yes, but it's made by a massive fucking corporation. How have they not fucked this up yet? That's what I'm talking about. Like, what the fuck? How have they not, like, killed it off or filled it with advertisements and data collection and just completely ruined such a simple thing as a fucking speed test? How? Damn!

Good job Engineering @ Netflix lol

@k
I've got a gut feeling it's a "cost of doing business" to them.

Some years back there was some talk about net neutrality in the amerika. In my head fast.com got created because of that.

In my mind it is not a product but rather politics for them.

Now I light be completely wrong. I sure as fuck didn't even bother to check if the timeline actually lines up even.
