What could be causing these results?

[Down the Pub]

had my services reinstalled a few weeks ago now, and not had much chance to check them.

anyways over the weekend i though i'd just see what speed i'm getting, at my last house at this time of night the speed was pokey - lucky if i got 10meg.

so did a test (pinch of salt needed) and this was the result




i know it's 20meg as the u/l is pants. what could be causing this? the cache is clear and it does the same with the cf test, and there is nothing else that i can think of (nothing to do with the vm router at all is it?).

the best bit is cf test, on my lappy it says that the speed is infinate - if only.

Kaspersky by any chance?

on the pc yes turned it off and got a speed of 104mbps, on the lappy no.

just wondering how the wireless lappy would show as infinite - how could infinite be quantified?

If, and this is just a SWAG, the file were located in the cache, and it found it before it attempted to download it (as it might, given the vagaries of OSes) it would have established that it downloaded it in no time. Dividing by zero tends to get one of three responses, either a thrown exception, NaN, or infinity. Technically none of them are correct, except that they are all also right answers.

I now suggest you imagine me saying the following in a spooky voice while waving my hands in a mystical way:

"Such are the mysteries of infinity..."
