I'm confused.
I finally got my fttc installed yesterday (the BT Infiniy 40/10 package - I'm not a heavy user) and I'm confused by the speed I am getting and the differences in results on the various speed tests.
When it was installed the engineer (technician?) said I was getting the full 40 meg when he plugged his handheld measuring thingy into it.
When I ran the thinkbroadband test I got:
Download 27 Mbps
Upload 4.3 Mbps
so I then ran the speedtester.bt.com one and also for good measure the beta version as well...
speedtester.bt.com
Download speed achieved during the test was - 36.4 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 12 Mbps-38.72 Mbps .
Additional Information:
IP Profile for your line is - 38.72 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 8.26Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 10 Mbps
Beta speedtester
Download speed (Mbps): 40.58
Upload speed (Mbps): 8.09
Ping Latency(ms): 20.00
So, which one represents the speed I am actually getting, and why does the thinkbroadband one think I'm getting 27meg and the others circa 40?
Many thanks in advance.
