Not quite. Video stream itself is probably hosted on a different domain/ip, so ISPs can just throttle one but not the other.

What they can do instead is boost speed for the first couple of megabytes for each new IP and then your speedtest would be off the charts.

It's download speed measured in mega bits per second. 150 is pretty good.

So if we get less on Fast than what we get on Speedtest that's a good thing right? I don't quite understand idk why

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's proof they're rushing things through on speedtest and holding back the netflix site called 'fast'.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Or maybe the server fast.com is using is geographically farther away? There are many variables, this isn't really proof of anything.

Sweet 210 on my phone via wifi for fast.com and 230 from speedtest.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Note that fast.com uses HTTPS while speedtest.com uses HTTP for the test data. If your computer is slow, that would affect the measurement.

I read somewhere that someone kept speedtests in the background to gain Hughes speeds. Maybe not viable for a 50 MbPS buff, though.
