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.

I never use Ookla for this reason. I use the Google speed test here in the states.

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

And if they prioritise it etc then they are just prioritising netflix. It was a great idea!
