Thats what i was trying to say, most speedtest.net servers are capable of 500mbit plus, but sometimes VM lines are incapable of hitting 30-40, never mind the full 100. Thats a VM fault, just becuase you can hit full speed to one server doesnt mean there isnt a fault.

I cant remember the minimum requirements to be a speedtest.net server, but I remember them upping the capacity requirements not so long ago, so if you cant hit 100mbit to a UK server, then 9 times out of 10 its VM congestion
