Looks like that dial has been changed to (or replaced by) a "Buffer bloat" dial. The buffer-bloat dial shows any increase in your latency during the test beyond idle latency, which I suspect was also used for the "line capacity" indicator.
Very good metric to display IMO, I wish more speedtest sites and diagnostics would use it - it's a very basic tool yet very important tool that most consumer sites seem to miss completely. It's practically the first check I do to determine if a link is saturated or not.
