mybroadbandspeed.co.uk upload test faulty?

Currently testing a new router at the moment and the BT tester is showing all is well and same for thinkBB.  But mybroadbandspeed.co.uk at around 80% of the upload test is its almost halving the speed every time, dropping the expected 46kb/s to 27kB/s
Anyone else seeing the same?

Not quite, but mine always says Up at 377K when the router says 488K! Not seen any thing different for long time and presume that it is a function of how it works.

Hi Colin,
That's pretty normal.  Your router is saying that the speed it is synchronising with the exchange at is 448Kbps.  377Kbps is perfectly normal as they're always a sliught degradation.
Gus - I tried from the office earlier and didn't see any of those symptoms.

Yep, seeing the same thing here.  Gets to about 75% through the upload test and then the speed drops to ~220kbps.

I have been testing with FF 3.6 and IE 8 and can't recreate, so it seems to be a quirk of Opera 11.11
