Hi, to all people with low download figures, dont automatically run speedtest with the recommended server. Try several and see what you get, for example Manchester server is approx 12 miles from me but I get less than 1Mb most of the time with a ping of 190-200 ms. Yet when I test with milton Keynes or Maidenhead I get 6.5-7.0 Mb with a ping of 40-50ms. Bit of a difference eh!. It appears that the nearest server isnt always the best. Until about 2 years ago the Faroe isles server gave me the best results!

.
So whats the correct result? after all all these servers are hosts for speedtest and anyone meeting the specs can apply to be a host.This doesnt mean your browsing comes from there.
Can any of the IT specialists shed some light on this?
