Looks like they come from whatever netflix CDN node your attached to which is kinda handy
38 mbps compared to 48.9 on Speedtest. However, an ongoing problem I have is my RBI speed jumps all over the place. I really see it when streaming on those blasted adaptive Flash sites that don't let me choose my own resolution.

Confirmed... I posted this note to a Netflix gent I know...
"So... fast.com ... It's wonderfully vague and says "Netflix servers"... Does it in fact use the netflix steering algorithm and source the test material for an individual user from the specific Netflix OCA node(s) that they would get streaming content from? (Don't make me bust out wireshark please)"
And got this as a response...
"Spot on, thats exactly how it works."

As expected. It's not a "speedtest" to find out how your overall Internet access speed is, but answers "How fast can we deliver Netflix to you"
Everything else is third-party content, who cares?
