In general, the Toast speed test was not a recommended speed test, this because this speed test was inaccurate.

 

With an adverstised speed of 100 Mbps and an average measured internet speed of 45 Mbps, we concluded that the Toast speed test was not an accurate speed test (Accuracy score: 20/100).

Toast was a miscellaneous speed test. The results are absolutely nowhere near the true values.

This may be related to the method of testing. This is because a compressed JPEG image of 21.8 MB is downloaded.

With an advertised download speed of 100 Mbps, Toast measured 45 Mbps.

The measured speed is 45 Mbps instead of 100 Mbps

That is that incorrect, that this speed test was not recommended.
