Oh well, so far it's the only test site that has reported stats close to what my sync speed is (not saying it's correct). As I mentioned some where else, went through the legions of stats it gives with our company IT Network guy and he seemed to think that all the stats added up.
Personally I have not been impressed with any speed test web-site, especially Speedtest.net, where I get wildly differing results each time.

Got to say I'm happy my connection is working, it's definitely a lot faster than my previous ISP and at half the price. Jesus, I've even got a router to connect to Sky Broadband so reckon all is good.
