Why Your Internet Speed Test Lies
NegativeArtificial Intelligence

Internet speed tests can often be misleading, as demonstrated by a personal experience where Speedtest.net reported a download speed of over 418 Mbps, yet YouTube still experienced buffering issues. This discrepancy arises because Speedtest.net measures peak capacity under optimal conditions, while services like YouTube reflect real-world performance. Fast.com, on the other hand, is designed to assess actual streaming performance over sustained periods, providing a more accurate representation of user experience. Therefore, while speed tests may show impressive numbers, they do not always correlate with the quality of streaming services.
