🚨 THE PROBLEM

Most Speed Tests Are Biased

Ookla servers: hosted INSIDE your ISP network

ISPs prioritize traffic to their own servers

Your result: 50-200% faster than reality

Fix: use Cloudflare-based tools (DCSpeedTest) — zero ISP bias

Mbps vs MBps: Decoded

Speed tests show Megabits (Mbps)

Downloads show Megabytes (MBps)

8 bits = 1 byte

100 Mbps ÷ 8 = 12.5 MB/s file speed

This is why speed tests look 8× faster than your download progress bar.
