Netflix launches new website which could solve streaming issues

This is a clever move by the streaming giant. Users of Netflix will sometimes be familiar with issues when streaming on the site. Through no fault of Netflix, your show or movie could stall mid-viewing. It's usually down to the speed of your internet connection or just a drop in connectivity in general. But now Netflix has created a new website which can help with that. It's called Fast.com and it monitors how fast your internet connection is. Genius! So instead of spending a few minutes cursing Netflix you can get to the root of the problem and check if your internet is up to speed. Netflix describes Fast.com as, "a simple-to-use way for consumers to estimate what speed their ISP is providing. It is not a network engineer's analysis and diagnostic suite." It's also going to be a great bargaining tool with your internet provider if the speed isn't as fast as they say it is.
