This tool was created to give you an insight into what your YouTube speed looks like compared to the YouTube speed of users in other regions with different ISPs. In short the YouTube dashboard could either tell you that your YouTube video speed is either too fast or too slow.

This isn’t something new to the web, but the fact that Google is launching it for YouTube and placing resources and emphasis on it is.
