Strengths of TestMy.net

Strengths of Real Speed
The strongest point of Real Speed is without a doubt that this speed test performs two speed tests. One from the router and one from the device in use. Both speed tests are accurate.
This gives you direct insight into whether your ISP delivers the promised speed. This makes it immediately clear what the cause is of any performance problems.
Real Speed starts up instantly, doesn't show ads, and seems fairly frugal in terms of data usage (although we can only determine this at 50%, as we couldn't determine data usage during the router test).
Our recommendation
Based on what we know about speed tests, if we had to choose between these two speed tests, we would choose Real Speed over TestMy.net. The deciding factor is the accuracy of Real Speed in both the router test and the device test.
