Netflix set up this site to give you a relatively real-time sense of your current networks download speed. No upload test, but you won’t need that for Netflix.
Bookmark this one and pass it along.
UPDATE: As Loop reader Gary Riches points out, this is a good way to test for Netflix throttling (run this site’s test against a more traditional test, like this one).
Wow. What happened to speedtest.org?
It’s mostly ads now with a little teeny tiny area for checking your bandwidth.
I guess someone’s gotta pay the bills but that’s a really bad way to do it.
Has something changed since you posted this in May? http://www.loopinsight.com/2016/05/18/netflix-launches-new-internet-speed-test-tool/
