If I go to speedtest.net and do a speedtest on my 500/200Mbps fibre line through Cool Ideas, on Octotel, I basically get my full line speed in the results, every single time i run the test;

However, on Mybroadband's speed test site, I get significantly lower results on every test - no matter whether I'm on my Windows PC, Mac or iPhone;

This has been going on for ages now. Surely I can't be the only one with the same results every single time? There's clearly an issue here that is device agnostic, but perhaps network limited or something?

It's definitely a Mybroadband Speed Test issue. I've done the same test on fast.com too and it gives my full line speed. Not sure if it's some configuration or ISP issue? @PBCool maybe you have some insights?

Can any of the grownups please tell me what's going on here?
 
I only use mybb speed test on my devices and always gets full speed. Also 500mb line with afrihost via vumatel.

Maybe they throttle mybb speed test?
