Netflix made a quick analogue of Speedtest.net

Now without Flash and without ads


Nothing extra

For many users, Speedtest.net has long been the main tool for measuring the bandwidth of its Internet channel. Measurements can be carried out both from the desktop and from a mobile device - and for smartphones and tablets for Android and iOS there is an application.

The problem is that the main site of the service has not been called fast for a long time. Flash and advertising greatly complicate the lives of users - the average PC hand does not always cope with the adequate display of this resource, and if the computer is slow, then measuring the speed of the Internet channel can turn into torture. The company Netflix recently introduced its own amusement park service, which allows to evaluate the bandwidth of its Internet channel. The website design of the service is as minimal as possible. The measurement is made in just a few seconds, not more.

Plus there is no advertising (at least not yet). Plus, the new service supports IPv6. Measurement is done using Netflix’s own servers. The measurement results, as far as can be judged, are almost the same for Speedtest.net and Fast.com.


In the process of measuring

There are disadvantages. This use of JavaScript, work immediately after opening the site without confirmation, plus there is no way to measure the bandwidth of the outgoing channel.


And this is the same service when using a mobile device.

The service works in any country, it is completely free for everyone - it doesn’t matter whether the user is a Netflix subscriber or not.
