Anyone know why I'm getting results like this. I've recently installed Mcafee security center so may be the problem but why?

By cached I mean its downloading from memory.

try again but clicking on the CTRL & F5 from the speed test window.

If you use the link on the top of this page you get the option to repeat from the source server

Have tried ctrl+F5 and the link on the speed test window to no avail. Would have thought if it had been cached then all 4 tries would have been fast.

4 Meg is what I'm on so 2 are about right. Tiscali and the speed test here do show these odd results which puzzle me.
