Possible timing errors aside (or the BT speedtester being off whack) this confirms Sky's service is in fact faster than BT Infinity, as Sky does not impose the 96.8% IP profile limiter that BT does.

So while BT 40mb "is really" up to 38(.72)mbps, Sky's 40mb "is really" up to 40.

Course the difference is a few percent either way, and there's the 80% slower upload to consider, but still interesting to know.

That'd also suggest the 80/20 service on Sky would actually run at 80mbps rather than BT's 77.43mbps.
