Help Needed to Understand Results

Examining our speed test results they seem to be consisently at about 6mbs download but occasionally there is a result that says 80 kbps but with 256 kb size or other smaller sizes rather than 6.2 MB. We are testing every 10 minutes. What does this mean? Does it indicate a line drop or deficiency? Thanks.

Are you using wireless or Ethernet? If wireless, try plugging directly into your model with Ethernet. This would eliminate any wireless issues. 

 

the Sky Broadband average download here on TestMy is 15.6 Mbps. Some users speeds are quite a bit better than you and some are quite a bit worse. I don't know if that's because they are on different ISP plans or some of their users have issues..

 

i would call them, and tell them that your real speeds appear to be 1/2 of your plan. Be polite and patient. Even if they just run you a quick OOKLA abased speed test that shows you're at full speed and tell you there's no issue, call them back until they start really trying to help you troubleshoot.

I'm measuring two pcs at the moment (jxpontig2 are the results I need help with). It is running off TalkTalk on an Ethernet cable. Here is an extract and you should see that I get intermittent issues as described...
