I suspect it's Kaspersky again. I used to get cock-eyed results on www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk but since updating it to the 2011 version it's ok.

Re: Enough is enough.....

What do you mean it's twaddle.  BT run there broadaband over the local loop as do BE. The only difference is the equipment used. Instead of BE using BT's equipment they use their own. So we ARE all on local loop Roll_eyes
