whatever protocol you use it depends on external sources, ntl provide an internet connection so if speeds slow down due to internet problems they are still accurate for what they are. Higher != accurate all the time.

Many times it could be ntl peering causing slowdowns and its easy to blame the src when its blameless.

Browsers will cache data as you choose a place to save and have a high initial burst fudging the figures.
