Anyone noticed that the BTw BB Performance Tester has changed recently ?
Apart from a change of the opening screen dialogue, on the actual DS and US speed tests there is a destinct pause at 20, 40, 60 & 80% completion, I last used the facility at the end of January this year and operation was to previous expectation.
My DS speed test now reports approx. 2% lower than previous, US approx. 7% lower.
Nothing has changed on my setup as verified by DSLStats which I run & record 24/7, my synch speeds and BRAS profiles remain the same.
Test results from other speed testing utilities remain the same as previous.
Can only attribute the lower speed reporting on the BTw facility to be a result of what appears to be the changed speed testing method.
Appreciate that the BTw Performance Tester is not held in very high regard with respect to accuracy and repeatability on this forum, however, I have always found the results to be repeatable & reliable on my system when used with Pale Moon Browser (not Firefox) and reasonably comparable with results obtained from other speed testers.
