speedtest.net - what a pile of shit

[EvilBoB]

Anyone else get rubbish speeds through speedtest?

I've got Infinity and speedtest.net shows me around 30mbps downstream - although I can download at around 8 megabytes per second.

Are you testing on wireless or wired?

Yes I once got a download speed of 21mbps when my bog standard talk talk connection can't handle any more than 8mpbs actually never get more than 4 when downloading

it also doesnt work on IOS. If you use the IOS apps it simply does not work on fibre connections.

[CallmeGoose]

yeah the IOS app was giving me shit results this morning...

[Goldberg]

Yep never had a decent result using the app.. Bollocks really just use a wired machine.

It depends what server you use, try selecting Namesco in London.

I'm on 60mb with 3mb upload



Works okay for me.

Use BT's own Speed test. Also gives information of the IP Profile they've settled you on...

Speedtest ain't perfect. I remember using it to try and test a 50Mb symmetric fibre line, it was a while ago but I think I got scores between 20Mb - 150Mb!
