After you do the test it should offer you the option to see how you
compare with your local street or village average shown on a map.
ISTR called Streetstats or something like that.

It can be very informative.


It does make you wonder what some of the people have done wrong.
You can get virgin tests that go down as low as 0.6Mb/s even though the
slowest connection they offer is 10mb/s and distance should not affect the
throughput.


They do sometimes supply over copper as ADSL Den...

Likewise you can get adjacent ADSL where one sub gets ~16M and the one next
door gets 1M.
It goes to show that the subs kit must be making a lot of difference.



Depends on who does it what time of day etc...
