I do indeed. Independent testing for VM by Samknows. They are also officially the fastest according to OFCOM; though I'm sure you'll now come up with a reason why that's not actually true either.

Actually it wasn't negative - I'd assumed that more than 66% would be getting somewhere close to their headline speeds.
I wasn't being serious; hence the smiley. And I actually agree with you

Measuring over 24hours makes the numbers pretty meaningless though as it's what you can get at peak times that counts because by definition that's when most people want to use the service. Most really wouldn't care if they could get a Gbps at 3:00am.
Actually I would have thought that measuring over a longer period would give more accurate results.

The tests are conducted at random times throughout the day; mainly when your connection is otherwise idle.

BTW - with jitter like you've got I'm not surprised your VOIP wasn't any too hot.
Indeed. I was going to ask about that. It was the only thing left that could be the problem! Any way to reduce it from here?
