Speedtest.net Reviews 

Also had someone claiming to be from Sky direct me to this website. As soon as I told them what the download and upload speeds were the line went dead - clearly a scam, beware!

Speedtest only shows the absolute maximum reached at any point during the test. It needs to show your average speed to be useful to any real degree at all. My test showed speeds between 30-40 except for the last second or two of the test - then it jumped to about 100. Speedtest reported my speed as 100. I watched the whole test and with an average of between 30-40, to report only the speed at the very end is not honest or accurate at all. Use Speedof.me - it does several tests and shows the average speed of all of them combined. Much more accurate and honest. I've tried both several times over a few weeks. The speeds reported are not even close. Speedtest.net always shows exaggerated much higher speeds than what I really get consistently.

Speed test called me yesterday and today pretending to be from sky. When I wouldn’t go to the web address given, the man started shouting “you stupid stupid woman!” At which point I said I was reporting the call to the action fraud UK (which I did), and was told by the “sky” employee to F*%K off. Called sky to report it. Never type in a web address from a cold caller.

showing fake speed by taking money from providers!!!
Scammers!

Taking money from providers to show high speed.

Great way to test internet speed, also has lots of statistics on other ISPs like average speeds for different countries, etc

It's terrible. 0% exact datas. Useless.

Non so quanto possa essere affidabile, ma funziona bene. Solitamente non dice bugie, ma a volte comunica risultati sballati.

It says I got a 35 mbps speed but I don’t have, many times internet is working very low but speednet.net says I have normal speed. This I checked from different devices. The website was recommended by Vodafone when I complained about the internet speed

Speedtest.net isn't the problem. The people who ring claiming to be from BT, use speedtest.net to get an idea of the speed you currently have, then they'll ask you to open another window on your browser, input some address and follow their instruction. That's where the real problem is. Don't type the address in. Hang up.

I don't think this is a scam site... but an Asia company is using it to convince people they have a wifi router problem, then trying to get money from them to fix the problem. But Speedtest.net need to prove their credentials, to help reassure people... and warn them about the Asian scammers using their site, and how it works.

Okay people! When you get a website/app recommended by a broadband company what do you think you are testing?
I have been having loads of issues with my provider and today I am having very little limited service and as I come to speedtest it tells me I am getting over 100mbps.. how can it be that my provider is not giving me the internet speed I am paying for? But it still reads as overly great in the website/app.
To all of you complaining saying that the negative reviews are BS please just be grateful you have good internet and to those who think they can rely on website/apps like this please don’t.. I am here writing this review so you know that what has happen to other people is also happening to me! This is a scam hence the low rating..

this is not a scam site, it has nothing to do with anything other than testing your internet speed, if you people are that gullible you shouldn't be using the internet.

This is a scam website. Man with asian accent will tell you he is from the BT Technical Department and ask you to go onto it and tell you your internet speed is too low. Then ask you to press consent at which stage the site you are on will steal all of your information. I didn't do this this time as I got caught about 5 years with a similar scam who sillily I allowed to take control on my pc and it never worked the same again. AVOID AVOID AVOID

avoid - claimed to be from BTopen reach and wanted me to go onto speedtest.net as i had a slow conection , couldnt tell me what speed i was getting .... got bored and told them to email me with the details

Absolute scammers. claimed to be from BT. asked me to go to this website and run a speedtest. Went along with it, but ran the speedtest through google. I advised them I have 48 mbps upload and 98 mbps download speed, and I was being told that was a fast internet connection. The supervisor came on the phone and said that my internet was TOO FAST and this would be dangerous for smaller devices such as mobiles as it would overload their circuits. Ha ha ha ha, never heard such drivel in all my life.

Just had someone claiming to be from BT wanting me to use it. Got as far as the website but didn't click or use - just hope that hasn't done anything. They rang off when I asked them to prove they were BT and what was my name.

Just had same person on claiming to be from bt broadband. Unfortunately for this scammer, I know that bt use btwholesale for testing. Avoid at all costs. Similar gentleman as previously described

BAD BAD NEWS. Being used by scammers trying to hack into your computer.
