Google's Internet Speed Test

I saw a post on reddit recently that referred to Google's Internet speed test.

Here's the URL to run it:

Here's the result from my ThinkPad X201 running 802.11n.

That didn't seem as fast as I expected so I tried Google Fiber's Internet speed test.

Here's the URL to run it:

         http://speedtest.googlefiber.net/

That's more like it.

Then I tried Netflix's Internet speed test.

Here's the URL to run it:

         https://fast.com/

So I was on a roll. I tried Ookla's Internet speed test.

Here's the URL to run it:

         http://www.speedtest.net/

And Comcast's Internet speed test.

Here's the URL to run it:

         http://speedtest.xfinity.com/

Four out of five can't be wrong. Google's Internet speed test is reporting about half of the actual speed.
