I want to know what is the best broadband speed tester to use, and also why are there so many different results from the different tests available?
When I use the Speedtest.net london server I always get 50Mb/s without fail, but if I use any other speed tester including the one on this ste it tell me that I get a 30Mb/s? Why is this and how can there possibly be a difference of 20Mb/s, I can understand about 5Mb/s tops but not 20.
Can someone please enlighten me as to why there is such huge differences and what ones I should trust? I would like to point out though, that when I do use the speed test .net test I also check my network connection utlity in windows and it tells me I am using 50% of my connection, which will equal 50Mb/s. When I use the other ones it will peak at 80% but come back with a result of anywhere from 20 -34 Mb/s?
Very confusing
