    Last I heard, ISP raise the speed for speed test sites/services. Which is why netflix had to create their own speed test service which uses servers that also serves its content from.

    so is this really based realistic statistics??

    I haven’t use speed test for quite a while but the speed results and reality were vastly different

      Probably not, theres thousands of speed-test sites so keeping an up-to-date list would be quite an effort. I guess there could be companys selling those lists to multiple providers…

      Maybe they rate limit older tcp connection or packets from the same host ip over time.
