No. The T3 errors could be exclusively during a series of reboots. Or they could be down to congestion. It's when they turn to T4s that a solid look needs to be taken. The T3 errors occur if the SH doesn't respond to a keep-alive poll. That response goes out on the upstream; if upstream is congested, it might not get out in time. A T4 event occurs when this has happened 16 times in a row - then the SH resets (soft reboot). That level of congestion needs reporting because if the upstream is buggered the downstream suffers too.

BTW speedtest.net is no longer reliable (IMO) because of volume of users piling in. I use Jack Dinn's JDAST, which does multi-threaded transfers, ping & jitter. Just Google that. Beautiful graphical record is kept as well.
