The main problem seems to be it’s HTML/JS based and just can’t keep up with high download speeds. Same goes for speedtest.net. Speedtest has a desktop app which doesn’t suffer from this issue.
- heartbreak 8y agoI have well over a gigabit download speed on fast.com just now. I think it can keep up just fine.
- Aaargh20318 8y agoIt craps out at around 500Mbit on Safari/MacOS. Same on Chrome. The stand alone speedtest app goes up to >900 Mbit just fine. It randomly freezes during the test for seconds at a time, presumably the JS GC is triggered. To be fair, I do have about 150 tabs open.
