Yet another speed test site but this one is brought to you by Netflix. Yes the TV streaming site has create a quick speed test using their own delivery servers.
It doesn't use Flash or any add-ons but does run as soon as the web page loads. There is no interaction with you. And it is quick to run.
Try it at https://fast.com

One here too (just for comparison):

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

That's too slow , 20 seconds is way too long to wait. The Netflix one is 7 seconds on my PC.
Yes I've tried that TTB quicky one but prefer their Flash based on as I like the x1 and x6 testing which highlights gateway issues for me.
And yes the Netflix speed results are consistent with TTB.

Just done two tests on each of those,,.... both give about the same result... 5.4 Mbps whereas my Routerstats is showing 6.655
I am on a Wireless connection about 18 inches below the router... ! Router is the Technicolour 582... It would probably gain a bit more if I used the cable connection to the router....

3.3Mbps
I reckon we'd get faster speeds on ADSL again rather than this fibre malarky that is now delivery slower than ever speeds. Heck... probably best to tether to my mobile.. tesco will deliver at 18Mbps...
EDIT: That said, the second test came back better... at 19Mbps....

It was actually by using this site that I realised I had an issue with one of my connections.
So with a bit of luck that will get resolved tomorrow.

Fast has me as 68mb, TBB 67mb. I'm not arguing about a mb.
Lately though I have been creeping up on speed. Was about 65mb but now seeing 72-74mb/s on TBB x6 burst

Plusnet is now active and the first speed test shows 46 MBit - faster than the 4 year BT speed!
It ranges, depending on speedtest, from 43 to 46 - on the same line as BT's ****** 33 MBit.
Keep it up PNet and you'll have a long term happy customer!
