Very inaccurate too.
I get 160Mbps results on a 10Gbps connection.
This is with a path to Netflix that pretty much sits in LA.
So I am assuming I hit their CDN in LA all the time.
Not sure where their speed test web app is located.

This could be useful from a residential last mile customer point of view, to
expose ISPs which have good peering/low congestion to speedtest.net but might
have less than optimal routing to Netflix. Or an ISP that is flat topping the
traffic charts on an N x 10GbE link to netflix somewhere in the intermediate
path.
Some people will see radically different results from speetest vs this new
Netflix test during peak evening hours.

Just came across this https://fast.com. Utility from netflix. Torching it
looks like it opens 3 HTTPS connections to 3 different IP Addresses to run the
test. Only reports download speed, no Latency or Upload.
