Yes, and I assume their actual CDNs are closer than that.

2620:108:700f::36f4:7ea4 and 205.251.244.235 are both Amazon IPs.
Netflix uses a lot of EC2 stuff, so you’re not necessarily hitting their 
“cache” when you pull up their website.

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.

This could be useful from a residential last mile customer point of view, to 
expose ISPs which have good peering/low congestion 
tospeedtest.net<http://speedtest.net/> but might have less than optimal routing 
to Netflix. 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.
