Speed tests

iI've done speed tests with speedtest.net and irishisptest.com both give varied results with up to half a mb in the difference. is one more accurate are the others to try and then get an average speed?

Maybe your speed actually is varying by up to half a mb?

Are you doing the tests one immediately one after the other? If not you can expect wide variance ... On a 2meg BB package I can get speeds of 1.75Mbps (as high as I've got) in the late evening but it can be as low as 250Kbps during the day.
