This is why most well-known speed test sites are useless, in that they are carefully gamed by the ISPs, so that they show you only the maximum speed you could reasonably achieve to their highly localized high speed network. It tells you little or nothing about what you could get to anywhere else.
The dslreports speed test is pretty good, and the one from fast.com should give you a pretty accurate picture of what you could see from the Netflix infrastructure.
Beyond that, you need to run your own CLI tools and be in control of both ends.
- scarface74 8y agoJust for a data point: So I went to fast.com and it’s showing 150/73 using WiFi. Speedtest is showing 249/66. I am on the second floor. When I am right next to my router, speedtest maxes out at 371/354 wirelessly to the closest server. Dslreports is 319/94. This is on my iPhone 8 Plus. Usually my iPad is a little faster.
