Speedtest.net Reviews 

After visiting this site, I am now bombarded by warnings and sometimes threatening action against me( my phone)

It's fake. I was experiencing very slow speed. Then I checked with speedtest.net and it was showing 53/20 mbps which is quite impossible. Then I checked with Google Chrome (M-Lab) and that seemed to show 2/10 mbps which was realistic.
FYI - My ISP is More.com.au

It does it job but.... The app constantly uses my location in the background. A LOT. Every 2 min it uses my location for no reason. Thats why i dont trust it

Everytime my internet speed drop, my ISP always ask me have you checked the speedtest.net? I wonder why, and I checked it, every time the results are so fast, but in reality the speed is only 10% of speedtest.net result. Take your own conclusion.

I've been an IT Technician for over 3 decades and I don't get how ANY person can think this is a scam site, or they offer support, it's FREE, why should they offer support? You don't pay for their service so why should they feel obliged to offer support for free???
It's exactly as the website title suggests, it's AN INTERNET SPEED TEST WEBSITE, there are no popups, there's hardly any advertising on the site, it's not a piece of software, although you can download the app for convenience, so what's the issue and why would you down rate it just because you live in Timbuktu, the phrase not the place(!) and they can't find a near enough server? I've used it all over London, Manchester and places in France amongst other places without any problem, if it doesn't work for you, pick another test site and quit moaning like a little girl!!!
I rate it 5*s and no, i don't have any affiliation with the site, the owners, the sponsors or anything to do with it, I've just used it for over 15 years.

this site is fake , the idian guy knew nothing of my provider yet he was supposed to be working for them

DONT TRUST THIS SITE

Expect one hour of waiting to do your PCR

definitely a scam. received a called from a lady with Indian accent, claiming my internet is slow and other people can access my interest is not secure? whole mouthful... (know it was scam as she said i'm with xxx but i've change company for some time now)
then transfer me to another guy when i told her i see nothing. guy went on to say my internet speed is slow, when i question which company, he had it wrong again, I ask him for contact number so i can contact my ISP to question why they disclose my detail to 3rd party, he muted

Indian lady called me with a dreadful script claiming to be from the wrong isp, so she transfered me to her "senior supervisor", and indian guy, who told me to go to speedtest dot net, once i refused, he told me to go "fX$& my Sister" and went on a diatribe of things he would love to do to my mother and family.
He then had the audacity to fully change modes and ask if i needed a deal on a holiday to the maldives, to which i declined.
Before parting ways i called him a conman & he told me he had to go as he has more people to take money from.
The call originated from this number 01923267565
Sounded like he was calling from a very large call centre

This website is fully a scam.
my link speed is max 20mbps but it showing me 150mbps hahhahah how funny

this website is so annoying because when im trying to get the top score it keep rising and saying im close to beat it. FIX IT.

I tested in Deventer, all was perfect.
The staff very friendly and the result came in nearly next morning.

Years of experience working in Computer and cells and it is the most accurate page to check the speed of your Internet connection on both PC and Cell

BIG SCAM..They are certainly receiving payment from ISPs. Got so frustrated with my speed that I can barely load a single webpage. Lo and behold, speedtest.net gave me a 4mbps result. What a joke. When I searched for a more reliable site it gave me an accurate..wait for it...0.2 mbps speed! This is not the first time that it happened to me. Scammers are effing cancer.

Don’t fall for it! Was hilarious to string them along whilst they ‘waited’ for me to type speedtest.net and then transfer me to tech support. Caller not happy that I strung her along for 20 minutes whilst I actually washed up and cleaned my floors!

Random Indian call center claimed to be from TalkTalk and that they were trying to check my internet speed issues. I am not with TalkTalk and the speed check was good, but I wanted to see what I could get from them. They first get you to use TalkTalk's valid site, then they want you to visit www (dot) speedtest (dot) net (which I now think is actually okay). However they will try and get you to install some screen share type program or offer you a refund i.e. Get you to give them your account details.
After stringing them along for a while they realised I was not going to fool for it and swore at me for wasting their time, which I think means I won.

Beware This is a scam 00821083345522 was the number that called me. They try to get you to go to speedtest.net and then ask you to click consent. Do not do this , they will access your device/computer

The male caller in India was very abusive. After refusing from us to visit www dot speedtest dot net, the caller laughed and said 'I want to fuc... your wife'. Then they called us three times again early this morning. We are very disappointed that the UK government allows that to happen.

I have just spent 16 minutes with Speedtest (Jane Lewis and a very strong Indian accent) She claimed to be with Openreach, and advised me that I have a problem with the speed on my internet. and needed to log on to her website, I did this and she tried to get me to hit the consent box, I refused as it meant giving permission to send me junk mail. she got very abusive, accused me of wasting her time. I gave her a piece of my mind, asked for her supervisor, she then hung up on me.

Proceed at your own risk.
