Thinkbroadband v. BT speed readings


[link to this post]
 
I'm not hugely clued up on broadband but do know when the system is slowing up. Obviously this is sometimes down to the speed of the web, other times I believe it may be my connection which is Greenbee (essentially Plusnet) over a BT line. I'm under 1km from the exchange and should get up to 7 MB.

However, Thinkbroadband (TB) online will register very low speeds whereas BT's speedtester indicates faster speeds. For example, earlier TB gave me a reading of 0.9 MB and yet BT was stating 4.5 MB. A second 'TB' test provided 1.9 MB - all within a 15 minute timeframe.

Why the differing results?

Can anyone provide some guidance /advice please?
