Fast doesnt do upload

  It actually does -- you just have to click "Show more info".

  > Fast doesnt do upload It does but it's hidden, you have to hit "Show more info" (once the main test has finished). A bit stupid, but I'm sure some committee thought it was an awesome idea to do it that way.

    Where is this on mobile? I went to fast.com Is it after the speed test is over?

      > Is it after the speed test is over? Yeah, you have to let it run thorough first, then the button appears. (At least on desktop, I can't remember what it does on mobile)

    Makes sense to me. The point is that the speed test traffic pretends to be netflix traffic which is mainly download. The upload to other servers could be limited by the ISP while being unlocked for netflix with low cost (because people don‘t upload a lot towards netflix). So there is less signal in the fast.com upload speed measurement
