Speed tests can be very odd.

Recommended server for me is Maidenhead -> very poor results.
London -> great results
Ashford -> used to be great, less good now

Paris -> can be very good
Budapest -> used to give super results

Things really can vary widely between runs on the same servers.
Maybe folk play around, get great results from a server, tell all their friends and then overload that server with tests.

I tend to stick with London or Newbury as I know the sort of figure I'm going to get. If it's really off on those I can try others and this can indicate there may be an issue and possibly where it is.
