Fast.com is owned by Netflix, it performs downloads from Netflix servers to get your speed.

Interesting. For shits and giggles I just ran both from my phone. On my home WiFi, the results are roughly the same.

If I turn WiFi off (switching to AT&T 5G) I get 4 Mbps on fast.com and like 180 Mbps on speedtest. I wonder if this is because AT&T is throttling Netflix on cellular.
