That is interesting. He'll have never had the baseline of a gigabit service to compare with so I bet everything feels incredibly fast.

He can get his mitts off the YouFibre Manchester speed test server, though. Only I am allowed to use that at those speeds.

There are quite a few very fast servers on the Ookla network, no need to get so protective! :)  Even Zens' own server does something like 8G down / 5G up.  But don't tell their customers that, they like to pretend the server gives bogus results... ;)

I know a guy who runs an ISP. He had an Ookla test server available to everyone. Briefly. Then he noted how much it was costing in bandwidth, that ignoring the extortionate Ookla licences. Good way to boost traffic load to justify peering and discounts on transit when you're relatively small, though!

YouFibre Manchester is mine, though. I may only use it once every 3 months or whatever but still mine. Will raise a ticket.  ;D
