    Works for me... Are you on 3? There is a drop-down list for all results from the ISP (Naas Rd, Co Dublin, Ireland)

    Ps That should be 7.2 not 7.6 in the title

    Are you on 3?
    No, I'm on Eircom, but shouldn't a link open the same for everyone?
    Has anyone else tried? 118 views and I'm the only reply.:confused::confused:

    It should, but I just tried from a UTV connection and it doesn't. Not sure if there is a way to get results from other ISPs.

    No, it's dynamic content and will vary depending on what IP it came from. Onikage, only you will be able to see your results on the link posted. Note the "results.php" in the url. :)

    The speedtest is not 100% reliable. It can give misleading high or low results.

    Never trust Speedtest site, most ISP cache the data to optimise the results....

    Even them the bandwidth on the route connecting you to the test server also effects it.
