Hi,

Just had the question for couple of days and am.getting "erratic" results on speed test.
My plan is 500/ 68.
On Ookla and BT wholesale tester it's 440 to 460 and 74 up.
On Google it's 260 to 340 and 64.

On think broadband it's 17.8 and 10.

This is all on same device, pixel 7, witjin less then 5 minutes all told

What frequency is this being done over? 2.4GHz? 5GHz?

Doing tests via WiFi isn't the most reliable
 
Ookla and BTW testers are fairly decent and pretty accurate, Google's is great, I think it's single thread test. And TBB always seems to be all over the place

But yeah you'll always find testing on WiFi not consistent, make sure you're not using 2.4Ghz

It was over 5GHZ.

I did try to find a laptop with a ethernet port but none have them.

I tried my work laptop with a micro usb dongle for the RjJ5, connected directly to the router, it hit 80MB, dongle is supposed to be GB🤔

I expected high 400 as on my street only one connected, to the exchange can't be many as only started build in last 4 months.

Am happy enough with the Ookla and BT wholesale, Think broadband was less 20, also tried Andrew and Arnold same.

Just concerned for TB and AA, DL is so much worse then ul
