Speedtest only shows the Highest speed achieved Speedtest only shows the absolute maximum reached at any point during the test. It needs to show your average speed to be useful to any real degree at all. My test showed speeds between 30-40 except for the last second or two of the test - then it jumped to about 100. Speedtest reported my speed as 100. I watched the whole test and with an average of between 30-40, to report only the speed at the very end is not honest or accurate at all. Use Speedof.me - it does several tests and shows the average speed of all of them combined. Much more accurate and honest. I've tried both several times over a few weeks. The speeds reported are not even close. Speedtest.net always shows exaggerated much higher speeds than what I really get consistently.

Indian lady called me with a dreadful… Indian lady called me with a dreadful script claiming to be from the wrong isp, so she transfered me to her "senior supervisor", and indian guy, who told me to go to speedtest dot net, once i refused, he told me to go "fX$& my Sister" and went on a diatribe of things he would love to do to my mother and family. He then had the audacity to fully change modes and ask if i needed a deal on a holiday to the maldives, to which i declined. Before parting ways i called him a conman & he told me he had to go as he has more people to take money from. The call originated from this number 01923267565 Sounded like he was calling from a very large call centre

Complete scam Complete scam. This website shows perfect speed tests, almost any other speed test site shows the problem I am having. Real world applications showing 1/6th the speed speed test.net shows. They are sponsored by many companies.

Blatantly trying to scam Random Indian call center claimed to be from TalkTalk and that they were trying to check my internet speed issues. I am not with TalkTalk and the speed check was good, but I wanted to see what I could get from them. They first get you to use TalkTalk's valid site, then they want you to visit www (dot) speedtest (dot) net (which I now think is actually okay). However they will try and get you to install some screen share type program or offer you a refund i.e. Get you to give them your account details. After stringing them along for a while they realised I was not going to fool for it and swore at me for wasting their time, which I think means I won.

SCAM BEWARE Speed test called me yesterday and today pretending to be from sky. When I wouldn’t go to the web address given, the man started shouting “you stupid stupid woman!” At which point I said I was reporting the call to the action fraud UK (which I did), and was told by the “sky” employee to F*%K off. Called sky to report it. Never type in a web address from a cold caller.
