IT could be any number of things:
- The time of day (servers have peak times depending on their locations - just like roads)
- The location of the server
- The status of the server
- How many people are accessing the server at the same time as you
If I were you I would spend the next three days running tests at different times of the day (morning / mid day / evening / late evening) and keep a log of the results. This should give you a better picture of what is actually going on.
It could be that the service in your area is just struggling a bit at the moment for some reason or other. Sometimes I get 70k, sometimes I get 25k and sometime I get 80-85k (I'm on 750k BB).
