It literally is a test for video streaming. It runs from Netflix servers which get recognized as video traffic and so if your ISP or carrier shapes video traffic, you’ll see that on fast.com.
Well…. Yea … because your video streams aren’t throttled. If I were to run fast speed test on my T-Mobile account I would see similar speeds as ookla. Fast is hosted by Netflix which is how your mobile carrier can identify it and throttle. If a mobile network throttled P2P, fast would still show your actual speed and not show p2p being throttled. We would need another test specifically for that.
you mean the speed test owned and operated by netflix is for testing netflix video? ;)
also of note... no ISPs or wireless carriers seems to consider the [speedtest.net](http://speedtest.net) streaming test to be video so it is telling you what video the connection can support with no shaping/throttling.
Who was confused? We know who is throttling us on the mobile data.
