Something wrong here I have just spent 16 minutes with Speedtest (Jane Lewis and a very strong Indian accent) She claimed to be with Openreach, and advised me that I have a problem with the speed on my internet. and needed to log on to her website, I did this and she tried to get me to hit the consent box, I refused as it meant giving permission to send me junk mail. she got very abusive, accused me of wasting her time. I gave her a piece of my mind, asked for her supervisor, she then hung up on me. Proceed at your own risk.

definitely a scam definitely a scam. received a called from a lady with Indian accent, claiming my internet is slow and other people can access my interest is not secure? whole mouthful... (know it was scam as she said i'm with xxx but i've change company for some time now) then transfer me to another guy when i told her i see nothing. guy went on to say my internet speed is slow, when i question which company, he had it wrong again, I ask him for contact number so i can contact my ISP to question why they disclose my detail to 3rd party, he muted

I always rely on speedtest to check who… I always rely on speedtest to check who is slow here - me or the site. Whenever it tells me that I'm fast I feel relieved and continue searching on other sites. I like the opportunity to check the speed in the new places I go. I always use speedtest and the only thing annoying me is the amount of ads. It makes the whole page flashy and disturbing.

Speedtest.net isn't the problem Speedtest.net isn't the problem. The people who ring claiming to be from BT, use speedtest.net to get an idea of the speed you currently have, then they'll ask you to open another window on your browser, input some address and follow their instruction. That's where the real problem is. Don't type the address in. Hang up.

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.
