end of the day tbb can measure yoru speed of 100mb on single thread but it has to be when they are suffering congestion no one can get uncongested networks unless they pay for it and that costs millions because oyu need seprerate server runnign on ther eown decicated lines

does that explain it i hope i havent been partonaising
No, you you are never patronising.

You have answered my question though. Inability to counteract congestion for testing purposes seems to be a fatal flaw. TBB cannot use the monitoring tool installed on my PC, and thousands of others, as the basis for a national survey of comparative ISP speeds. Does anyone actually disagree with this conclusion? If so, on what basis?
