Indeed the speed test sites may be overloaded at peak times yielding poor results. But having known slow downloads from other sites goes a long way to show the download speed is being cut back for some reason, it's also pretty noticeable to the end-user, heck even the VM Status page was unavailable the other day due to the crawl.

Also, when you compare it by doing the same download via a separate ADSL net connection (different ISP) in the same house you can see something is up possibly.

Right on cue, at 11pm, VM back up to 6-8Mbps.

Of course, it's not much use to have an internet connection which is only useful when you are meant to be fast asleep. Oh well.
