Plusnet have checked my line and everything was OK, I've tried another router and so on and so on, just by accident I tried using Internet Explorer which for years now I have not used, I prefer Firefox, I found when doing speed test using I.E results are what I expected, go back to Firefox and they are all over the place.
BT test using Firefox Ping 43 / Download 13.4mbps / upload 1.02 mbps The download speed is is usually less than the one stated here.
BT Test Using I.E. Ping 31.25 / Download 20.23mbps/ Upload 1.02mbps
I've checked and double checked and similar results are reached, I disabled all but essential items in the Plugins and Extensions.
I know I have no fault as such but was wondering if anyone had come across this strange behavior before, I would like to know what is wrong if possible or if some one has any ideas i could try.
regards
Jono

I've had a skim through the FAQ pages and there's nothing to state that any particular browser should be used.

I had a problem recently where my 2.2GHz laptop would start running at 400MHz (and 'stick' at the reduced speed), that gave me some pretty poor speedtest readings.
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

I will work my way through Firefox at a later date when I have more time, nothing wrong with the system, its just niggling at me to find what is wrong with Firefox, I.E and Chrome work fine, I get normal results with them.
Thanks for your time, if I ever do find out I will let you know.

I started Firefox in safe mode which did not make any difference, I'm stumped again, I will keep picking at it until I find the problem, hopefully find the problem that is.
