Netflix Can Now Check Your Internet Speed

In a project completely unrelated to originally programming and acquiring incredible BBC shows, Netflix has just launched Fast.com, a site that does just one thing: check your connection speed. Yes, there are other options out there, including the go-to Speedtest.net, but there is something beautifully clean and simple about Netflix’s new service. Not only does the minimal-looking site quickly give you a real-time reading, but it even works nicely on mobile. The launch of Fast.com is meant to promote faster, better internet, and to make everyone aware of their download speeds.
