Can anyone explain why there is such differences between these?
Speedtest.net 1Gig Test
Thinkbroadband 1Gig Test
Both on a 2015 (16Gb 3.5Ghz SSD) iMac, using Chrome (although all browsers the same), Wired.

Would need to know exactly where the ookla server is, most likely reason is a link between Hyperoptic and us that is congesting, no alerts on our network so not at our end

I get those speeds on most London Servers and Manchester. I've not tried every single Ookla UK server though.
It also doesn't matter what time of day/night I try the Thinkbroadband test.
Are there recent Hyperoptic tests that have got those Ookla speeds here?

Where in the UK are you? Think it may be Scotland and looks like you have run both the flash and non-flash and got similar results
http://tbb.st/1491416939657402255 A London Hyperoptic user, and route to us from Hyperoptic should be the same for everyone and no sign of congestion on that link

Correct, Edinburgh. I have indeed, very little difference. So if someone in London has no issues and I only seem to have an issue with certain servers what can that suggest?
I also noticed that the other Hyperoptic users that have tested on this site in my street area get not too different results from myself i.e. slow. Obviously only you guys are privy as to wether they are wifi or wired.

Cannot absolutely confirm if people are wired or wireless, but a pretty good idea usually.
The suggestion is that our server is fine, and the link into our network from Hyperoptic is fine, but maybe some of the network they own/lease between Edinburgh and London is congesting somewhere. It may even be that Hyperoptic has multiple routes out of Edinburgh area confusing matters even further, or just that you have a handful of people running connection hot 24/7 which is affecting others.
Given the still relatively small size of Hyperoptic it is difficult to be definitive.

Thanks Mr Saffron.
We'd be interested to look into this further Binary_Digit, have you raised the discrepancies with us yet?
If you could please send the results of your speedtests to [email protected] our networks team can investigate and let you know more information.
Kindest,

Well that was a waste of time...
"Thank you for your patience on this matter.
After investigating further with our Network Operations Center, there doesn't seem to be any congestion in our network in Edinburgh.
As for the think broadband speed testers, we cannot have an impact or register traffic accordingly if they are outside our network.
Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to give us a call on 0333 332 1111.
Kind Regards,"
