I normally get around 0.5-1mbit boost accompanied by noise bursts stopping for a week.

Not the immediate neighbours but if it's reduced cross-talk it's more likely to be caused by those closer to the exchange (and the phone lines around here are likely to go past an industrial estate plus two large housing estates, before they get here), so it could be cross-talk, or a lack of it. I used to get the same effect whenever a small business working from home four houses away, in fact on a different street and pole, but fed from the same cabinet, packed up for holidays. He had two or three staff at his house every day so I assume they had permanent internet connection in the working day.

That's coz you have a rubbish ISP, nothing to do with TB.
Select port 80 and you might get a better (higher) result but will be representative of web/http traffic not other types. I used to think that until seb corrected me. Selecting port 80 on the tbb speed test does not invoke http protocol.

Ah! Thanks for the correction. I had always though it was there to see if there is a difference between web (http, port 80) traffic and other protocols/ports speed on ISP's with traffic shaping.

So did I. From what seb said it looks as though it just by-passes any possible throttle of 8095, but uses the same protocol as through that one, whatever that is.

'On long lines it is not uncommon to see an increase in connection speed during the colder winter months followed by a drop as it gets warmer again. That is what I was thinking you might have been experiencing.'

Deliberately evading the language filter is never a good idea.
