ISPs aren't generally inclined to shape traffic to increase bandwidth for Netflix, though. Often they throttle it, so it's a good test to see if you'll get good performance doing something you likely care about bandwidth for (streaming Netflix).
- headmelted 8y agoI'd mentioned this in another comment, but I'm not sure that shaping traffic (or not) for the speed-test would mean they're treating streams the same way, especially if it's a different TLD.
- foota 8y agoI think based on the urls being requested on the site that they hit their production serving services, so it shouldn't be possible for an ISP to treat it differently (at least not without some highly advanced techniques)
