Great stuff. I hope they keep it clean and simple but at the same time would be nice if they add maybe an advanced option to check which server it's checking against and maybe things like ping etc. Basically speedtest.net without the crap 
Simple and fast.
But Upload speed is not shown. It would be useful to include that in results.
( Why does Fast.com only report on download speed?
Download speed is most relevant for people who are consuming content on the internet, and we want Fast.com to be a very simple and fast speed test.)

I dont think so. I have tested on many other sites and they are giving near accurate results....

Iirc the 80% of promised speed applies to DL from Indian servers. Not sure though.
Do ISPs like ACT which give high speeds actually deliver with international servers or are graded from peered -> Indian -> International servers?
Because simple reason is.
Speedtest in collaboration with your isp conducts test on server hosted in same or nearby city thus falsifying the international part of testing. No hopping across the gateways and international server.
So this way your local isp gets seen in good colors.
Just select American server and re do the test. That will give correct answer.
Hardly any major sites are hosted in india.[DOUBLEPOST=1473050287][/DOUBLEPOST]Majority of sites are hosted abroad.
I don't understand why people keep perpetrating this myth in today's day and age. Most if not all, sites use some form of CDN. Some of which have presence/servers in India whereas others are located at least in Singapore. That means your itunes streaming/youtube video is served from a server nearby the isp country. Yes a pingtest is necessary if you are playing games as that is terrible but content-wise you don't need to connect to an american server.
Well I dont think so as I get download speeds of 8-9mbps in IDM.[DOUBLEPOST=1473405403][/DOUBLEPOST]Now dont say IDM is tweaked and linked to ISPs as well.

Sorry didn't follow. You are saying ATT is not speedtest? What is IDM?
