Luckily I have more then 1 PC in the house, which makes it handy to compare notes. Speedtest.net on my Linux box gave me a figure of 72, so I began to suspect my Windows PC of having some kind of bottleneck.
However I then downloaded a DVD ISO of Slackware 14, which came down at approximately 8.5MBytes per second. Hang on...that works out at round 60-70Mbps. I ran speedtest.net again. 44.
This morning I've done the same again, and got the same result. Speedtest.net only gives me 44Mbps on this PC. However the BT Speedtester reports about 67Mbps, while MyBroadbandSpeed.co.uk gives 40.6Mbps
For some reason (and on that PC only) different speed testers are giving wildly different results.

MyBroadbandSpeed uses the same Ookla engine as speedtest.net.

If you want to guarantee consistency, it's better to pick the server manually.
