Nah - that's not right. Speedtest.net is as variable as the internet. I get 22ms ping on London TranceFM and 51 ms on London Namesco.

My speed does indeed drop to 34 Mbps or even lower now that Cab 22 has woken up, but I can't trust speedtest.net when measuring that.

So I don't buy this "safe profile" stuff on a "rest assured" basis.
