I've noticed for the last few days that my 50Mb connection seems to be returning download speeds of 70-75Mbps on several speed tests. I know these aren't always very accurate, and the config file for my modem is still saying that the maximum traffic rate is 53000000 bps (i.e. 50Mb) but I have never seen this phenomenon before now. Upload speed seems to be the usual 4.7-4.9Mbps.
I'm in the Peterborough area. Anyone else seeing this?
