Hmmm. Sort of.

I don't like the graph shapes in either direction, and look at the latencies.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk | Domains,site and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 58.7/14.6Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

I don't like to read to much into a single test, I'll do some more tomorrow. Latencies can vary wildly from test to test at the best of times.

I have a feeling something is not right with SamKnows (or my SamKnows router is on its last legs). A few weeks back I started getting really low graphs on SamKnows and tried to diagnose a line fault. Turned out a reboot of the SamKnows box fixed it. Now, I have noticed that for the last week it hasn't done any speedtests but the router is clearly still running as all my connections are through it and the Internet itself is fine.

Getting to the point where I may well decide to disconnect the box as it is messing about too much.

Yes, I wonder whether it's worth it as well, after all it's not primarily for my benefit. I'll try to get onto Samknows about it. And sorry for hijacking this thread, I realise my issues have nothing at all to do with the OP.

Mine recently stopped reporting as well and needed a reboot.

Edit: Which version of the SamKnows box do people have? Mine's a black LinkSys WRT160NL.

Mine's a white TP-LINK TL-WR741ND. It continued reporting throughout the time it was crippling my download speed, which is kind of ironic.

Same as yours. I have been on the programme for quite a while now and am beginning to wonder if it is still worth it to me - maybe I have paid my dues now.
