Hi
Tried it and gave slightly lower results than   Speedtest.net   DL 5400Kbps to 5800Kbps . UL both ~ 400Kbps .
Showing my DS  to be Highest(ZEN) . Guess which is the lowest ?.

Regards Jeff

Even if the results were accurate (and I'm happy to believe that they're not), they seem to be restricted to the results of other people who have run that test on that website.  T

I hadnt run it before as I wasnt too sure about the privacy aspect, and wonder about the IP to location thingy
Anyhow thought Id give it a shot & Ive just found out how inaccurate the tester appears to be

Still, I guess it's already fulfilling its design aim.  Thanks to the publicity it'll get, we've all clicked on the link, as will have other people on other forums, hence generating traffic to a site that's cluttered with commercial advertising.

I think you may be right.

@ Kitz,

The top10-broadband.co.uk site is so grossly inaccurate that ISPs would probably have a good case for banning the site.
It is hopelessly inaccurate and seems to suffer from capacity / bandwidth problems as well.
This morning it has just reached the giddy heights of 10.7 Mbps on my 20 M Virgin service which regularly reports between 16 and 18 Mbps on the TBB site.

I.e. anyone with a service of over 10 Mbps MUST be warned of the inccuracies and a statement to that effect must be included on the results page and all such results must be disregrded and marked as such.

How to get this done ?

Kind regards,
Walter
