Seph - I don't believe that the BBMax speedtest downloads sufficient data for it to be a good test.

These are the numbers from my Tomato router stats for a run of it (there was a small amount of other traffic while it ran)..

RX 0.40 kbit/s
(0.05 KB/s) Avg 128.75 kbit/s
(15.72 KB/s) Peak 10056.44 kbit/s
(1227.59 KB/s) Total 9,429.83 KB

TX 0.37 kbit/s
(0.04 KB/s) Avg 29.21 kbit/s
(3.57 KB/s) Peak 1082.79 kbit/s
(132.18 KB/s) Total 2,139.40 KB

The test results - http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/res...437&v=15683459

So it used less than a 10MB test file down and ~ 2MB up. Probably OK for my 10Mbps but surely insufficient for faster connections - from memory when I was on 50Mbps it didn't use a bigger file but of course I could be wrong.
