Very inaccurate too. I get 160Mbps results on a 10Gbps connection.
This is with a path to Netflix that pretty much sits in LA. So I am assuming I hit their CDN in LA all the time. Not sure where their speed test web app is located.

Or an ISP that is flat topping the traffic charts on an N x 10GbE link to netflix somewhere in the intermediate path. Some people will see radically different results from speetest vs this new Netflix test during peak evening hours.

Torching it looks like it opens 3 HTTPS connections to 3 different IP Addresses to run the test. Only reports download speed, no Latency or Upload.
