Cool. So fast.com can't have traffic prioritised to it's domain? Shouldn't it better be fast.netflix.com or something?

  Fast.com doesn't measure the speed to stuff behind fast.com, it measures the speed to Netflix CDN nodes.

  If they prioritised traffic to fast.com then real production Netflix video traffic would also be prioritised Fast.com is just a nice domain to put it on. It could be fast.netflix.com or anything, it just loads the code to kick off the test

  fast.com uses video data from ntflxvideo.net
