has something gone wrong with My Broadband Speed Tester?

I have not been able to get a sensible result recently,  I am on normal ADSL, my genuine Sync is 8128, my profile 7150
the meter during the test is very jumpy, below is the stupid results graph

Thanks Peter.
Does anyone else see "impossible" results using our speed tester?

It's goosed. It's registering speeds even when the connection is down. Also, the history has vanished and despite doing 4 tests on the trot only the last result is retained and displayed.

Shouldn't be.  That only changed the code which dictates how you start the tester.  I'm not entirely ruling it out though.
