Conflicting speed test results.

Hi,
I recently upgraded to fibre extra and was curious to find my actual speed. My router (Netgear D70000) is line synced at 80/20. Using either the Thinkbroadband or the Ookla tester gives me a result of 74/18 using a wired or wireless connection. I believe that this is well within the acceptable limits. However the BT wholesale speed test gives results of 28/16 or worse. Are the other two test results wrong? And if so might I have a line problem. Or is the BT tester faulty? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Duncan.

When you have a fault PN ask you to test with BT as it saves the results for your line .

Thanks for the reply. When I was on ADSL the BT tester gave speeds that were higher than any of the others. But now that I have switched to Fibre the reverse is true. Please see attached for latest BT Test with further diagnostics.
Thanks,
Duncan

I might have solved the mystery. Having changed the browser used for the test from Firefox to Chrome, the BT test now gives similar figures to the other two. I wonder if it is something to do with "Flash" compatibility with Mac's.
Thanks,
Duncan.

Yes,
I have the same issues with BTW tester & Firefox, only started retatively recently along with the "Adobe Flash" warning message, I now use IE11 to run the tester and that works fine returning the expected results.
Definately appears to be a Firefox issue, see other recent thread on this topic.

Yes,
I'am on the last official release of Firefox, 56.0 (32-bit) so if your speed tests are to expectation and the same as MS Edge then the issue may have been addressed with FF 57 beta ?
I am currently quite happy just to use IE11 for the BTW testing which does not seem to be effected.

Could well be a connection !
I never believed the DS speed result obtained on BTW tester using Firefox since the issue started, I have always used the TBB on screen speed monitor and it was very obvious that my DS data speed was normal during the test.
I also use the Sam Knows White Box performance monitor and this confirmed that my data throughput speeds were normal.
