Weird how it sets my server to London, I am approximately 5 miles from B'ham but if I select that, I get slightly slower speeds and a higher ping
Can anyone suggest why I cannot get a good result from speedtest.net yet I can anywhere else I try?
So for example, I use the BT Wholesale checker and I'm told the connection is 74.9 / 16.8
Go to broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk and I get almost identical readings.
Mybroadbandspeed.co.uk slightly lower, but within tolerance.
Run at speedtest.net and I'm told 7mb / 17mb
I change the server, I try one in London, one in Milton Keynes - each time I see 7mb - 10mb for download.
But this is only when using speedtest.net
What is this test doing differently to everything else? Whuch would be considered the most reliable way to check speed?

All wired - well all devices into a NetGear 8prt Gigabit Switch - including the router.
As I said in the other thread, people seem to use speedtest.net as "the" tester to use, but that is the one that gives me through the floor results.
As long as the BT Wholesale tester gives me the kind of results I'm expecting I won't worry.
