At least you have a reasonable upload speed! (Roll on our new router installation...)steveh wrote:This is my work PC!!
At work, it's always possible that someone or something else was uploading or downloading while the test was taking place, no? I can't believe the SpeeTest.net software can manipulate exclusive use of your company connection!stuck wrote:Hmm, I've just confirmed what I already know, my work connection is highly variable:
About 5 mins ago Down was about 6.5Mb/s and Up was over 8Mb/s.
About 1 min ago Down was only 3.25 and Up was 5.7.

Yes, John, I've noticed that SpeedTest.net seems to be a little bit optimistic, but in your case it's three times!John Gray wrote:The download speeds shown by SpeedTest.net always make me laugh ...

Yes, Ken, we've noticed that that can happen up here, especially on rainy days in the autumn.stuck wrote:Alternatively, Argus is travelling faster than the speed of light
