Shouldn't x6 speed test be higher than x1


[link to this post]
 
I've just been looking at my historical speed test results and on the graph the x6 result is consistently lower than the x1 as in this screenshot.

It's not something that I've been aware of but, it's not as it should be is it?

That is unusual.

Not sure it's bad enough to really worry about, but in theory the x6 should be the same or higher than the x1 result.

My history hasn't arrived yet so don't know if it's an old or new effect, but I've noticed the same on some of the speed tests I've done since the site update.

Not a significant enough difference to worry about, but it struck me as a bit odd.

Yes, I'm not worried, just curious really. I've even wondered whether the graph is showing results the 'wrong' way round.

p.s. I just did another speedtest and this screenshot of the result is exactly what I'm used to seeing. As I read it, it shows x6 as faster than x1.

p.p.s. I'm fully aware of the loss of speed generally. That's down to my old PC & WiFi but it's consistent.

I think you are right. It looks like the X6 and x1 are labelled incorrectly.

The results are correct and the graph picks up the correct data. The graph labels for x6 and x1 are the wrong way round.

Well spotted!
