Clearly sarcasm got lost in my post...

Am lost as to your actual point...

On the main tbb site we force http for testing at present (not the word present), but there is the option to go to test directly e.g. https://labs.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest

Others including ISPreview have made the jump to pure SSL testing already and that's possible because the speed test supports a variety of options, not that these other sites have rewrote the speed test themselves.

In reply to a post by BatBoy:

http is being throttled

This has just been posted over at the TalkTalk community forum, i have asked how he tested it -

https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/Fibre-Broadband/...

I found ways to check to see if your internet provider is purposely throttling and slowing down your speeds and the tests showed that they are slowing them down. So i'm now in the process of cancelling my contract and taking my money elsewhere.
