I've run some speed tests and wonder if anyone can tell me if I have a problem. I am on Premier Plus up to 8Mb

where do you get the non BT speed tests from, they dont look correct, i.e. half the BT test, not normal

When the BT Speedtester and an external speedtester show such a wide difference, the cause is usually incorrect MTU and RWIN settings on your local machine.
Try changing the RWIN/MTU, rebooting your machine (very important!) and then posting your external speedtest results.

Pierre,
This is very common - honestly!
If the BT Speedtester shows substantially higher throughput speeds (in this case 5609Kbps) over an external speedtest (2270Kbps) the cause is 99.9% of the time RWIN settings.

Agree. I know from practical experience on many systems that the BT Speedtester is relatively insensitive to inappropriate MTU/RWIN.
That's one reason why it's such an important tool.
The question is why? Does anyone know what trick they use?
