Tried that one and found it gave results which bore no resemblance to the real world despite trying the three closest servers late at night. I was on 10Mbps and it would rate me no higher than 1.5Mbps, however some download calcs and auditmypc.com stopped a complaint being fired off to NTL.

Moral: Don't rely on just one of these sites, and trying at different times of the day wouldn't do any harm either.

So how do we find out what the true speed of our connections are? im confused after reading about speedtest.net in another post.
