to optimize my router's upstream QoS to achieve the perfect balance between throughput and latency, with great success.
An anomaly though, is that the tool knows I'm in the UK but says that my ISP is "Net1Plus" which is(was) in the USA !
Is it just a coincidence the "Net1Plus" and "Plusnet" are similar words, and are both ISPs ?
Does "Plusnet" have any association with "Net1Plus" ?
It seems unlikely that this is a DNS registration error or weird geo-location service lookup, as I've had my static IP address (84.92.xx.xx) for about 10 years.
Does anyone else get a different result ?
To run the test, go to DSLReports - Speed test
Click the button for your connection type (in my case "[DSL]")
... wait for the speed test to run, and then wait until the "Grading:" is calculated.
Click on the "[Results+Share]" button.
You should now be on a page showing the detailed test results, which include the ISP, etc.
If you choose to use this tool to assist with optimizing your router's bufferbloat, there are some useful advanced "test preferences"
which can be selected by clicking the 'cog' symbol to the right hand end of the connection type selection tabs, on the first page.
I found having "Hi-Res BufferBloat" selected gave the most consistent results, when repeatedly tweaking the upstream QoS.

Quote from: Nibiru Does "Plusnet" have any association with "Net1Plus" ?
No.
I've PM'd a couple of the mods as per the information here asking that they update their ISP detection logic.

Thanks for your help in resolving this matter, as DSLReports didn't respond to my bug reports !
I hope other users find this unique speed test useful, and be sure to explore the advanced "Test Preferences".
