Is the recommended PN checker having wobblies? OR??????

Below are several tests run by My Broadband Speed plus one run on the BT checker. Is MBS working OK, and what else could the odd results be down to? Only two of the MBS runs are within the BT profile acceptable speeds, and what would be in line with a 7264kbps connection.
Is seems that my exchange is due to RFS CNWBC between 1 and 31 March. Might the RFS date been achieved already?  An IP
"ADSL24" says the exchange has already switched, but as I am on a legacy product, I would not expect to have been switched

It's not a problem as such, but it'd be interesting to have suggestions of the probable cause of the phenomenon

The speedio FAQ page explains how Connections and Pings are measured, and their view of the significance of these parameters. Quite a bit of text, the page is copyright so best if you read it there.

I doubt it. In fact it's debatable whether the content of any of the counters is of more than passing interest.
