I'm getting a consistent difference between fast.com in Safari on iPad vs their Fast app (90-ish vs 65-ish, across 5 interleaved trials). I was hoping for better measurement in the native app, but I suspect it might just be a web view in a native shell. Anyone else seeing similar results? I think this is an interesting idea, but I'm not convinced it'll actually make a difference. From the consumer side, there's nothing to say that the slowest link isn't Netflix's CDN when a discrepancy occurs between Fast and Speedtest. I was receiving atrocious download speeds for movies from iTunes (18+ hours for 4 GB), and also saw slow speeds from speakeasy.net/speedtest. The comcast rep just pointed me at Speedtest and said "it's not a problem with your connection, it's fast! Contact Apple." He dismissed the "other" speed testing results. ISPs can continue to throttle directly or by refusing to upgrade peering connections. fast.com providing a number to go along with bad Netflix streaming quality doesn't improve the customer's life. What I really want is something that empowers me to be heard in my request for the $75 worth of Internet that I pay for every month. I had high hopes that the SamKnows program might yield something, until I received a docsis 3 cable modem in the mail from Comcast with a note: "since you're a participant in SamKnows monitoring, we sent you this upgraded modem so you can take advantage of better speeds". My first thought was "what about all of your customers who aren't participating in SamKnows? When do they receive their 'upgrades'?" Do we really need the government monitoring everyone's broadband performance to ensure that companies are delivering?
