fast.com is pretty good, too.
No nonsense, and run by a company renowned for server throughput optimization, so it should rarely be on their end if it’s a slow result
It’s also Netflix, and I’ve found networks that throttle speeds to streaming sites also throttle speeds to fast.com which can be really helpful if you’re aware of it and really annoying if you aren’t
I wonder if this would affect speed tests. I know using Ookla’s speed test is inaccurate because ISPs change speeds when connected to certain servers.
Or host your own speedtest like openspeedtest or libre speed. That’s what I do.
I never use Ookla for this reason. I use the Google speed test here in the states.
Try librespeed

And if they prioritise it etc then they are just prioritising netflix. It was a great idea!
Its good for at least confirming the physical links between your system and your home network and the ISP are good.
