I've done a lot of speed tests over the last few months because of various problems on my fibre line. the thinkbroadband test consistently reports speeds that are within a couple of megs of the actual sync speed at any one time and I haven't found any other speed test that achieves this.
I suppose if you just stick with one test then you get to understand its quirks and its worthwhile anyway, but its nice to know that the reported download speed of a test is at least close to your sync speed. It also highlights that variations in the download speed are attributable to other factors.

It over-reported my download speed and massively under-reported my upload speed, apart from that it's fine!

Under reported both. I think only reporting a third of the upload speed is a little too much of a margin of error!!

Who really knows how reliable any of them are? For me on ADSL Speedof.me is closer to BT Wholesale speed test than Thinkbroadband which appears to under-report download speed. I am running on Linux Mint.

It reported my download speed fairly accurately ... at first. Then on successive attempts it decayed monotonically (less-and-less). Closed that window and start again in a new window ... exactly the same ... back to normal then decayed  .

Not seeing that here. I ran several in a row which came out almost the same. Google Chrome, if that makes a difference.

Seems the best of the bunch here despite distance from server. Chrome here also as had a belly full of Firefox memory leaks. Speeds not good here today. Were 13mb earlier, but had another service drop from Freeola/Enta this morning, then the usual heavy lunchtime packet loss (Business priority), which resulted in interleaving again. Then I switched to my hacked Homehub 3.0 which is slower anyway, just to eliminate problems with my Billion 7800N. Judging by my exchange connection speed, speedof.me seems to be nearer to what I should be getting. Roll on next Wednesday and service switch to Pulse8, cannot be any worse.

Got a copy of the graphs from our test, i.e. results link and what is your actual connection speed?

Only that? ok then haha
no I actually found this site at work as we block all flash plugins
was just wondering what were others experiencing
I get low reported upstream using IE8.

If stuck on ie8 my recommendation is install chrome

I'm really impressed with the upload speed on my 20CN line!

See this post of mine using it on Tuesday .
My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk | Domains,site and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 56.4/14.5Mbps @ 600m. - IPv4 BQM IPv6 BQM

tbb:
Down: ~65Mbps
Up: ~16.5Mbps
speedofme:
Down: ~44.5Mbps
Up: ~6.5Mbps
Tests run within a minute or two of each other, 80/20 line ~450m from cabinet.
Don't think I'll be bookmarking it.

Useless: An 80/20 connection syncing at 68/20:
Down: 27.86 Mbps with a highest peak of 30010 kbps
Up: 3.18 Mbps and highest at 4030 kbps
Second test:
Down: 27.03 Mbps
Up: 3.22 Mbps
IMAGE
The "Share" button does not work - sits there loading and never returns a link. The producer cannot be bothered to use consistent units on the display or even check the date format in use on my PC and display that correctly. Useless and lazy although it is consistent - consistently wrong.

Does not like some folks fibre, but perfectly good Flash & java free test for a great number. Seems to like Chrome browser, which suits me as had a bellyful of Firefox memory leak and flash issues, which may well be what is borking this test for some and why the share button is working perfectly well for me, though different speed if I try Firefox. Try a different browser.

Firefox or Chrome give the same, way out, results for my FTTC line.

|

The TBB tester is also HTML5 so Flash and Java free, and more accurate.

Yes, it's hopeless. I think it's because the filesizes are too small and not multithreaded, so TCP optimization plays an overwhelming role.

I've always found speedof.me very inaccurate for some reason on all devices I've tested on  .

So have I, but it does not seem to like fibre in most cases I have seen here.

If people are logged in on the main site they currently still get the flash tester, hence why we also mention http://labs.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest
A neat feature is you can resize the standalone window and have a small browser window and run the test now and then. Also on iOS we support 'Add to HomePage' making the page more like a application on Apple devices.
Also unlike many web pages that have please tweet stuff ours actually opens the twitter app on iOS.

It over-reported my download speed and massively under-reported my upload speed, apart from that it's fine! SpeedOfMe gave me a 42M download and a 300k upload. Similar results on both Chrome and IE11.
