The amount of full fibre being built once again means we are into the third week of the month before the to-do list gets short enough that our speed test round-up for the previous month can be ticked off the list.
Speed tests while they may have less importance as more people switch away from variable connection speeds delivered over copper to full fibre or DOCSIS products still remain important and the broad spread you get from the public running tests helps to show people what they may see in the real world rather than the picture perfect world of adverts.

Test your broadband speed
Follow us on X for the latest broadband news 
The biggest problem with testing 1Gig on Speedtest sites is find one that is capable of supporting these speeds Thinkbroadband is certainly not one of them, best so far is 266mbit, the test is over too quickly.
Where abouts it Trooli on this list?
If not in table either too few tests or no details on IP block
On the speed test of this site, clearly something odd as there are providers shown with averages in the 700 Mbps and faster region and top 10 tests fair even better.
If your speed test is taking more than 8 seconds to get close to the maximum speed you have an ISP that is doing something odd, or your setup needs tweaking.
