Right..I have run the test twice- firstly on the Sky service, which runs fine and secondly on the Virgin "faster" service, which runs very slowly on this computer.
So a rather large cut-and-paste: starting with the sky then the next one with Virgin.

Summary of Noteworthy Events –
Minor Aberrations
• Network packet buffering may be excessive
Address-based Tests +
NAT detection (?): NAT Detected
Local Network Interfaces (?): OK
DNS-based host information (?): OK
Reachability Tests +
TCP connectivity (?): OK
UDP connectivity (?): OK
Traceroute (?): OK
Path MTU (?): OK
Network Access Link Properties –
Network latency measurements (?): Latency: 110ms Loss: 0.0%
The round-trip time (RTT) between your computer and our server is 110 msec, which is good.
We recorded no packet loss between your system and our server.
TCP connection setup latency (?): 110ms
The time it takes your computer to set up a TCP connection with our server is 110 msec, which is good.
Network background health measurement (?): no transient outages
During most of Netalyzr's execution, the applet continuously measures the state of the network in the background, looking for short outages. During testing, the applet observed no such outages.
Network bandwidth measurements (?): Upload 640 Kbit/sec, Download 880 Kbit/sec
Your Uplink: We measured your uplink's sending bandwidth at 640 Kbit/sec. This level of bandwidth works well for many users.
Your Downlink: We measured your downlink's receiving bandwidth at 880 Kbit/sec. This level of bandwidth works well for many users.
Network buffer measurements (?): Uplink 819 ms, Downlink 2500 ms
We estimate your uplink as having 820 msec of buffering. This level can in some situations prove somewhat high, and you may experience degraded performance when performing interactive tasks such as web-surfing while simultaneously conducting large uploads. Real-time applications, such as games or audio chat, may also work poorly when conducting large uploads at the same time.
We estimate your downlink as having 2500 msec of buffering. This is quite high, and you may experience substantial disruption to your network performance when performing interactive tasks such as web-surfing while simultaneously conducting large downloads. With such a buffer, real-time applications such as games or audio chat can work quite poorly when conducting large downloads at the same time.
