The internet connection speed measuring website created by Netflix (http://mashable.com/category/netflix/) has just been launched as an app.*
SEE ALSO: The 'Netflix tax' is starting (http://mashable.com/2016/08/02/netflix-tax-pennsylvania/)
Back in May, Netflix debuted Fast.com (http://mashable.com/2016/05/18/netflix-internet-speed-test/) to help users, Netflix subscriber or **t, to determine the connection speeds.
On Tuesday, the company expanded the service's reach with a free iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fast-speed-test/id1133348139?mt=8) and Android app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netflix.Speedtest)designed to do the same thing.*

And since you're using a mobile device, the app provides a handy refresh button alongside your results to allow you to quickly retest your speed if your device switches to a new wireless connection in a different location. * Read more...
