Re: Adverts for broadband speeds to face new rules
Interesting finding - I've run multiple speedtest on speedtest.net using wired and wireless and different O/S, browser. Figures are decimals of expected.
Sam Knows box : 1 pretty much across the board
Linux laptop (wired) : 1
Windows laptop (wireless) : .65
Linux laptop (wireless) : .15 (possible due to drivers and age of laptop)
Windows desktop (wired) test run fairly close together and repeatable -
Browser to website : 1
Desktop app : .1-.2
Now if you do browse to website and get speeds over 100Mb on Windows 10 you are prompted to use the app for more accurate readings but the app gives a reading well off the expected given data from SamKnows and other wired devices. Yet the app is the method Ookla recommend.
I also get lower figures from other speedtest sites.
