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.

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

It's ironic... It's ironic, because every time I visit this site, the connection speed goes down for all users of my WiFi. This will of course mean the site shows my speed as slow, (which it, itself is causing). This means that I can't get any accuracy.

Absolute scammers Absolute scammers. claimed to be from BT. asked me to go to this website and run a speedtest. Went along with it, but ran the speedtest through google. I advised them I have 48 mbps upload and 98 mbps download speed, and I was being told that was a fast internet connection. The supervisor came on the phone and said that my internet was TOO FAST and this would be dangerous for smaller devices such as mobiles as it would overload their circuits. Ha ha ha ha, never heard such drivel in all my life.

2*s and people down rating it because they couldn't find a server near them, in the middle of nowhere, no support, oh my days, did you pay for their services then or was it FREE? I've been an IT Technician for over 3 decades and I don't get how ANY person can think this is a scam site, or they offer support, it's FREE, why should they offer support? You don't pay for their service so why should they feel obliged to offer support for free??? It's exactly as the website title suggests, it's AN INTERNET SPEED TEST WEBSITE, there are no popups, there's hardly any advertising on the site, it's not a piece of software, although you can download the app for convenience, so what's the issue and why would you down rate it just because you live in Timbuktu, the phrase not the place(!) and they can't find a near enough server? I've used it all over London, Manchester and places in France amongst other places without any problem, if it doesn't work for you, pick another test site and quit moaning like a little girl!!! I rate it 5*s and no, i don't have any affiliation with the site, the owners, the sponsors or anything to do with it, I've just used it for over 15 years.
