Night Hawk App Speed Test Inaccurate

So I was having issues with Internet speeds and after a lot of testing I have found that the App speedtest is extremely inaccurate. I have done multiple speed tests plugged directly into my modem and found that my speed issues are with my ISP. HOWEVER, the app said I was getting over twice the speed that I actually was. So dont trust the Apps speedtest at all.

    You're correct. 

    It usually tends to be low because it picks the closest server and the closest one isn't always the fastest one.
