Is the BT Speed Tester on something?

I did a BT test today and got
Quote
Download speedachieved during the test was - 6023 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 1000-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :7869 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 444 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 4936 Kbps

The IP Profile does seem somewhat odd, as for the connection rate it is both incorrect and non-existent in their profile list.
I wonder what could be going on. Thoughts?
No one has to agree with my opinion, but in the time I have left a miracle would be nice.

I saw something similar on the first post on this thread too, we're trying to see what results we get doing the test now.

It's back in order now. What could have been going on (rhetorical)? Weird Undecided

It's best not to question it too much for your own sanity. Wink
The BT speedtester chucks a wobbly every now and again, we're keeping an eye out though for any widespread issues.

Too late a warning, Mand, there are plenty of other things that have implanted my insanity Crazy
To save opening a thread, I have noticed a mismatch of your profile and BT's: PN 6500; BT 6000; Synch 7869. Isn't the BT one wrong? Shocked Wink
