Where our test data comes from
Speed, streaming and kill switch results on this site are other sites' published tests: 307 results from 12 sites, each credited by name, dated and linked to the original. We never merge or average them.
Now and then an editor or our US-based tester checks a result on a US server; five minutes of continuous playback counts as a pass, and each check is labeled as ours. No spot check yet.
