£1m
His throughput is still around 700, nothing to do with his profile as I said earlier and see my post above.

The whole point is, that regardless of which speedtester you favour, the results when compared against each other, are not dramatically different, and therefore can be utilised as a measure. Which is more accurate 4.5 ltrs or 1 gallon? when you go to the garage you (probably) use 4.5 ltrs to compare the MPG rather than use the 4.5xxxxx to whatever point ....in your calculations. the result will be "almost" the same, and accurate enough to give you the information you desire.
the above table is for information purposes, for those who can use the information to improve the service .

Quote from: Jameseh Right,
Time for some clarification. WEB IS NOT THROTTLED ON UNLIMITED.
Now we've got that clear let's look at some other things. We KNOW that we currently have some issues affecting throughput on our network currently. These are being sorted as per the ~£1m extra capacity we've added in the last week. We've also started doing some work (which we should have completed at some stage later on today.
Shutter - You're currently on a 1250Kbps profile which I suspect is the reason for your poor throughput. What's the BT Speedtester giving?
Hi Jamesh
well, it certainly seems that way to me... Just look at the speeds obtained (the same as My broadband speedtester) between 18:00 and 22:00 and suddenly at 22:20 back up to 700 again.... on three nights running... I expect I shall see the same again tonight.... I never had this on 15gb limited before Novemebr 1st...
here is the BT speedtester result for yesterday and this morning....
which confirms my suspicion that unlimited is throttled.... I am not the only one who thinks this...

I think that really draws this to a conclusion, no doubt when the network issues are sorted this will improve.

Quote from: Jameseh Speedtest.net = BAD
Mybroadbandspeed = GOOD
Having sent James a PM with the comparative figures for his beloved "Mybroadbandspeed" speetester, and a request for his assistance, he has worked a magic spell somewhere, and my speed has almost doubled... Thank you James...
I hope the dreaded speed drop between 6 pm and 10 pm does not happen tonight, however, if it does, it is probably NOT because "unlimited is throttled"....
My sincere apology to James for this assertion.
I hope he does well in his new job, but if he doesn`t I am sure he will be welcomed back here, as if he had only had a few days off !
Good Luck James

Quote from: shutter The speed result is the same, Pierre, try it and see for yourself.... by using three different servers. Birmingham (recommended) Paris , and Maidenhead, they all give the same result as the Plusnet speed tester...
Which speedtest.net server you use does make a difference:
OK - an extreme example, but what we want to find out is our speed from PC to just the other side of the Plusnet gateway. Using a server located inside the Plusnet London datacentre has got to be better (why do you think we all rubbished the previous PN speed tester which was in Sheffield?).

If you want a copy of the Mybroadband speed tests to prove my point I will gladly send them to you..
Oh and by the way.... even the beloved My broadband speed test differs considerably from the beloved BT speedtester results.... !

The BT speedtester is given the highest priority while all the others are the same as gold.

my point is that when both give so similar results, and I use both at the same time to confirm each others results, not to destroy the other result, it really does not matter that much ...Does it?
for example....

You will, no doubt, question why I use three different servers, and I will reply by saying "to check and confirm the first/other results"
You wil, no doubt, say..." Oh look all those results from speedtest.net are the same as mybroadband speed test,"
despite the variation in mileage ... well, well, there can`t be all that much wrong with speedtest. net results after all....
Oh by the way... I do not have any association with speedtest.net in any way whatsoever... I just exercise my right to check the Plusnet (my broadband speed tester) against others.

However, if there is a discrepancy, I generally lean towards the MBBS one, as I know topologically it's close to the network.

Quote from: Addnan Speedtest.net has gone a bit crazy tonight. Says I get 177mbs down my line. Mybroadband speed says 3mbs which I will be happy with during the evening.
No comment!
