I just used the broadbandmax speedtest and got just under 8megs......i then loaded up Newsbin Pro and updated headers and got 18.5 megs.....add overheads and thats my full 20 meg.This speedtest sites are so inconsistent and unreliable that it's not worth taking much notice of them really.

I wonder how many people (and this isn't aimed at anyone ) who are complaing about poor speeds only ever test using these sites and if they tested getting a largish file of Microsoft, or anyone else with a fast server and plenty of capacity ,would see totally different figures.
