Lower Single Thread speed on TBB Speed Test


[link to this post]
 
I have Virgin Media M200 broadband and this is what I get on the TBB SpeedTest:-

My Broadband Speed Test

However, if I go to Speedtest Net and do Single Thread test I get 215 mbps:-

Why is this?

Common issue with Virgin Media and believed to be done to part of the Virgin Media core network and the multiple paths through that network to the outside world.

I had not noticed this before as like you say I also get full speed on Speedtest.net single thread so I thought I�d have a look, and yep same thing for me.

Gave it another go, and still shows lower on single thread. This is in sunny Doncaster via Bradford core.
