Agreed.
I've shown the test to be inaccurate in many scenarios

I put this down to difference in browsers and difference in understanding of how the test works. I know for a fact that different browsers *do* report wildly different results using this methodology.
Ignition has wrongly assumed we're doing the test incorrectly whereas I have clearly already stated I'm doing what he assumed I'm not doing. His point is therefore not valid in this context. It is not incorrect, but based on a wrong assumption that does not apply here.
Personally I do not trust this test and will not trust anyone who tells me to do this test. Any test that gives me a result of 70mbps on a 50mbps connection is deeply flawed. No, I am not secretly on 100mb, as much as I wish I was.
I could explain this fully and provide proof in terms of mathematical formulas graphs and spreadsheets but if you want that... we should start another thread.
