Fast.com shows true speed compared to Speedtest? I beg to differ.

Untuk versi Bahasa Melayu, klik disini.











As per title, this is the reason(s) why it happens:
- Your ISP is intentionally throttling Netflix.
- You are using plan (be it prepaid & postpaid) with capped video streaming speeds.
- Your ISP doesn't cap speeds for Ookla Speedtest traffic.

How Netflix is related to Fast.com?
- Fast.com is an service by Netflix that are launched back in 2016
- It's purpose (i think) is for detecting if your ISP has throttled speeds to Netflix servers.

Alternate title (very extensive!):
- Fast.com is better than Ookla's Speedtest?
- Fast.com is the true internet speed test app/website?
- Fast.com > Ookla Speedtest?
- Why Fast.com is slower than Speedtest.net?
- Is Speedtest.net lying to you?
- I subscribed to xx Mbps, but Fast.com shows less speeds than expected?
