I am supposedly moved from the BT FTTC 40/10 offering to the 80/20.
Does anyone know a possible reason why I consistenly get better throughput on this site's flash speed test thatn I do on the 'normal' tester.
Flash gives me 46 / 10 instead of 35 / 4.
Could there be something screwy on my Pc as to why the http stuff is slower ?

The normal as in the Java versus Flash?

Could there be something screwy on my Pc as to why the http stuff is slower ? It's a known issue. In the sense, at least, that several of us know about it. In my case neither test returns correct speeds for the upstream. My 80/20 connection is reported as 70 or higher down by all testers and 15 or higher up by all testers except TBB which claims 8Mb/s.

Likewise - TBB Flash tester consistently gives higher results than Java tester, particularly upload, which never exceeds about 8Mbps on TBB Java whereas pretty much all other testers show 17.

Here are mine just now:
The TBB flash test gave 70.9 Mbps download, 17.66 Mbps upload. (The download is a bit slower than speedtest.net but the flash test upload is a little higher.)

The daft bit is we know that Java can got a lot faster

1m 37 seconds, over 250 Meg for both download and upload, on a fairly slow Apple some four years ago.

I've seen faster on a corporate connection.
James - be* pro - 16.8 / 1.2 Mbps until 16th Sept - then BT Infinity from 19th Sept - 44.6 / 6.5 Mbps estimated
BQM 13 years of broadband - ntl:(512k/1M)/BTbusiness(2M)/Metronet(2M)/Bulldog(8M/16M)/BE(16M)

We have seen faster too - that test was four years ago on what was an oldish laptop at that time

What does this test make of your connection ? It's the only one that gives me consistent results I would have expected from my service.

1m 37 seconds, over 250 Meg for both download and upload, on a fairly slow Apple some four years ago. It is a puzzle. It seems to be connection or ISP specific though. I have three computers here and they all report roughly the same speed. That's a laptop and a low power server running Win 7 and an old desktop running XP. And yet if it's the connection how come it hits TBB - and only on the upload?
Weird.
