It's worth reminding people that there is no single speed test that trumps the others. If you're serious about testing your connection, you'll want to use a variety of methods and services.
After all, a lot of speedtest.net servers are actually hosted by Virgin on Virgin's core network. That's great if you want to make sure there's no local congestion, but tells you nothing about the state of Virgin's overall network congestion.
Remember not that long ago when people would max out speed tests regularly, but still get buffering and crap on Youtube? Same thing, except for netflix. If you're getting 210MB+ on speedtest.net but still get buffering on netflix, then who's at fault? The idea is that this test at least tells you what speeds you should be getting
from netflix themselves.
