Since they took this precious domain, I was wondering about the purchase price and if it was worth to buy this awesome domain—we are talking here about a mid six digit at least, rather seven digits.
Then, I checked how much traffic speedtest.net is getting on SimilarWeb: wow, 150m visits per month, I didn't know that speed testing can be so popular.
Conclusion: Yes, it was right to buy this domain and if fast.com gets a large part of speedtest.net's traffic in the long term, Netflix has a neat free Marketing channel.
