To be honest it's good to see a speed tester that actually measures download pauses, RTT, and quality as this is an important factor most speed tests miss out on and very hard for a typical home user to determine.
The extra data is shown in plain text. It is potentially useful, as you say, to have the extra information, but only if it is accurate. I don't think it is.

Re: 50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote
Hmm, I don't see the extra info in plain text or any buttons to show additional info - this is all I get after a test:

Ignore the DL speed, that's Kaspersky playing up as usual.
Am I missing something?

Sorry!! My mistake. I confused connection analyser with Telford's tester. They were in the same thread so I must have associated them. I didn't find connection analyser much good either.

Anyway, I found Telford's 100Mb test didn't live up to it's name. It couldn't give my 200Mb trial connection anything more than 80Mb. Another guy with a symmetrical 100Mb reported this: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35151863-post5.html

The test does 50Mb well, but it can't manage 100mb or more.

BTW. I dumped Kasperski. Instead I use Microsoft Security Essentials. It does a good job, with virtually no CPU usage.

Re: 50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote
Not making as big a difference for me, looks like the faster the machine the less of a skew it creates:

*Note* None of these were done on VM's 50mb, just illustrating the effect of Kaspersky.

With Kaspersky:

Without Kaspersky:

Heh, that'd been me. Did another test today:

Doesn't seem as terrible now, but the results are still wrong - it's reporting upload speed over double the actual rate it's uploading at, and the upload is very bursty during the test.

I can confirm what Igni said, it's hosted on a 100mb connection and cannot reliably test more than one 50mb user at a time and zero 100mb users. Given that, I'd say it's OK to use for 50mb testers as long as it's repeated once or twice.

Crawley.

After almost a year of variable speeds, my up/down speeds are rock solid with very little variance. This seemed to kick in around December last year.

Seems I'm not keeping up having dumped PCguard over 6 months ago.

Re: 50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote
Indeed

But yes the new one's Bitdefender + some components of AVG. There's some info on the website asking people still using PCGuard to remove it and replace it with the new stuff, so the Kaspersky based product is no longer available. I think most mention of Kasperksy + Speed tests is from people who have bought or acquired it independently, not from VM.
