Poor Plusnet single thread download speeds - again

Last night: http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/results.html...

I tried three different gateways, all with similar results.

This morning: http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/results.html...

I normally use speedtest to keep an eye on things, which I think is multi thread. We had a power cut about 6 days ago, in the middle of the night and I have noticed a speed increase of about 6Mbs up to 60/61 Mbs for my line since.

To check this out I did a TB test and that agreed but it did show a low figure of 21.1/21.8Mbs.

I am actually very happy with my connection, but does this show that perhaps it is not as good as I have always thought.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the HH5 & PN1 both show a lower single thread reading.

Other than the usual issues that congestion cause no firm evidence to suggest that there is an issue introduced by the hardware used.

my ADSL 2 connection has just suffered 4 hours of extreme packet loss, Tech informed and claimed rectified, average ping has now doubled to 20, having been a solid 10 for four years

Single thread capped at 50mbit is an artifact I see with the linux flash plugin on seamonkey (roughly firefox) browser.

I have a HH5 & PN1, both give a low single thread readings on the Flash speed tester. But, if I use https://labs.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest// I don't get a low single thread reading.
