Also weren't some ISPs caught fudging speedtest.net by specifically making the connection faster when doing a speed test? I remember Comcast doing first x MB bursts which would result in inaccurate fast results.
- AtlasBarfed 5y agoI can't believe I'm defending Comcast, but it does seem to be a good idea to serve requests with high initial bandwidth since most of them aren't sustained downloads. That of course doesn't leave out that they'll detect being benchmarked like auto companies do with emissions testing and then switch to fake-out mode.
