It's not very accurate is the answer.

If you get fast enough speeds when you're downloading etc what the speedtest says means naff all.

As an example.

this file

Just a random one from microsoft I found on google.

11.78MB in 16 seconds

Transfer rate 753KB/Sec

Much faster than speedtest.net says my connection is.

@home


EDIT - Just to say, I didnt intentionally go with Tiscali, ive been with Nildram for years but Tiscali bought them out last year. Service has got noticably worse, however there seems to be a glitch which gives us 100% unlimited downloads, when i log into the website to check our usage its always on 0KB
