Speedtest.net is a completely scam site, it is faking the internet connection speed. There might be a possible chances of tie up with ISP's. You can check the proofs in the below link

Thank You
I use several of these Intertnet speed sites and they always always agree including this one.
Have to use speedtest.net at least once a week and send results in to main office... Love this site. Easy to navigate and always and accurate result!
The #1 place to check on your internet speed and quality. This site accurately tells you what speeds your actual getting compared to what you are paying for. Simple interface and gets the job done. Great mobile app too.
I went to this site at the advice of my tv provider Direct TV (bundled with AT &T internet). They stated my internet speeds were 4.0 and. 75 respectively which is simply not true. The worst is about to come, they offered a simple scan to boost my computers speed so I clicked the button it finished the scan and told me to reboot my computer and it hasnt worked since. It says I have a missing dlnet file and won't boot up. Be warned! Stay away from this site. Any site that has software that ruins computers should be banned from the internet.
Whenever my internet speed is slow, this is where I go to figure out if it's a local or regional problem.
It is flash based and doesn't work on iOS devices... it's also slow to load!
speedof.me is somehow better... since it is html5 based with cool graphic!
Itested on other sites and got pretty crappy results. So, I called Comcast and said so, they directed me to speedtest.net. First thing I told the guy was I noticed that it was testing at a local Comcast site, the site reports where you are sending info. He said he knew nothing about that. I ASK HIM if this was a Comcast site, he said ABSOLUTELY NOT. He then told me he checked my connection and all was in order and I should be at 20mb d/l and 5mb u/l tjhe previous sites said I was at about 5mb d/l and like 4mbu/l.
Low and behold, speedtest, net said I was blazing along at 21.82kbps d/l and 3962kbps u/l.
I fimnd this EXTREMELY SUSPECT.
So, beware would be my suggestion.
ISP providers like you to use this speedtest, because it is hopelessly unrealistic.
Beware.
Thaivisa gave me upload around 100kbps, speedtest.net say 600kbps.
Big difference, and I know speedtest is wrong, as I cannot use my webcam on some sites - too slow for them.
This site is a scandal. Always, AT&T ask me to test on this site. When I have terribly slow and connections dropping and can't even refresh any page and load just a html site, this would test for 2.3mbps to 2.5mbps. Other site tested my speed as 46kbps to 400kbps. But, this site always give the good result.
This should be scandal for some testing takes as long as 2 minutes and still it says 2.5mbps. May be they are only testing the burst speed?. But, ISP are using it for their advantage.
I do a good amount of online gaming and have friends ask me how they can tell if their internet service is good enough for online gaming.
This website allows you to see valuable information like download speed, upload speed and ping. This information will help give you an idea about just what you can expect your internet to do. Or if you just would like to know how good your internet is, run there very easy to use website.
By far the best, fastest, most reliable website for speed testing and discussing ISP related issues!
