Perhaps you need to sleep on it as I cannot for the life of me imagine any reason you would have to remove ESET (although quite easy to do if you know how).

Still, the browser shouldn't be caching it, any browser storing said data in cache is faulty.

As it does then every browser is faulty on your basis.

Anything that intercepts, analyses, then decides what to do with incoming data is likely to add delays or changes to speed in which that data is delivered.

Quite correct as that's the way Kaspersky works, not ESET.(I've been using it for about 5 years so know it's little foibles.) Better add not the same version!

BTW ESET was fully up and running during the tests I did and only clearing the browser cache returned a true result.

I don't actually believe AV "caching" is actually caching at all, simply redelivering it at fluctuating rates that confuses the speedtest application.


So it has to be the browser then ( except i the case of Kaspersky). How does the speed test site become confused on downloads and by what?(I have a good I deas of what you are going to say here but that is upload AKS)

I always see the speedtest data correctly being delivered through the network interface at the correct speeds, then delivered to the browser at strange ones,

So if you've ruled out the AV (notwithstanding Kaspersky) and it is not the browser what is it delivering the speed test at strange speeds?

BTW ESET was running as normal during the tests I did and only clearing the browser cache returned true results later checked by gamefiles downloads.

I don't actually believe AV "caching" is actually caching at all, simply redelivering it at fluctuating rates The big "Give away" to redeliver at fluctuating rates there must by definition be a cache.
