fast.com speedtest

So Netflix launched fast.com to test speed/shaping by your ISP, post your stats.

Pay for 25Mbps, get

ghostR · May 19, 2016

40Mbps VDSL

There's some interesting tech behind this. This test was done from my computer at our offices, where we have a 40Mb layer 2 to Teraco.

I can't achieve nearly this speed testing from a VM in Teraco, where we have a 10Gb interconnect to NAP and then to Netflix.

I think it's my testbench VM sitting on a R610 with SSDs.

Maar ek weet nie

Next time I'm in Teraco, I'll plug my laptop in and see...

It would be nice if you could select how many streams you want and at what quality, e.g 2x 4k and 3 x 1080p.

40 Mbps FTTH (via remote desktop)

not very accurate...

Hi,
Although we have better connectivity in CT the myBB Joburg speedtest shows better results...

Fast.com is nothing in comparison shows only 98Mbps

General speedtests to London look like this

Did not want to start a new thread just, but maybe add to the this thread for alternative to new test by Netflix. There is a nice speedtest on the Sourceforge website, which includes test for latency and packet loss.

Some results after tests I did
