Hello
A mate who is on a 2mbps ADSL connection got the following speeds from a online bandwidth tester... wtf is going on (the cache was cleared)

[image removed]
6500 kbps

27200 kbps

Infinity ... WTF lol.

He is only on 2mbps lol.

edit - removed images, but it says what speeds they were.

I'd edit the URLs if I were you

Sounds like he was hitting F5 and so the cache wasn't cleared...

Tell him to run the test, clear cache and restart browser and run the test again.

You just have to either hit back in the browser or type in your own speed in the URL to get that sort of result.

Edit the urls? Why? :confused:

Removed the images anyway.

Try a different speed tester? One that works?

The filenames were a bit dodgy with regard to the rules

Use the ADSLGuide speedtester tbh.

Or http://fuller.zen.co.uk/test (or something similar).
The AG speedtest has it's limitations.
