Has anyone else noticed that speedtest.net - London is going flaky? Usually the test is hosted by NAMESCO so reliably that, as you know, VM engineers commonly use the London site when they install your gear. Recently, however, I have noticed that CellC and TRANCEfm are the hosts some of the time. They are anything but reliable! I have been getting <10Mb readings on my 50Mb connection and the trial 200Mb connection. Yet when NAMESCO is the host I get the full 50Mb always. I'm not telling about the 200Mb trial results. :angel:

I find the trance fm host not to bad usually get full speeds and a nice low 20ms ping. Here (http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/) is Namesco's own speedtest.

Thanks. I'll try it.

yeah i have noticed this myself, i did a speedtest the other night on London which used to be great for me and used to get 47 - 51mb all the time. Now i get 31 - 44mb.

Just had this wonderful result from London Server lol... http://www.speedtest.net/result/1006365446.png
