The KC speed test server only seems to have a small amount of bandwidth allocated to it, potentially another reason why the KC speedtest server shows slower results.


Would that be because they dont have enough bandwidth for customers let alone to spare for that ?

Not necessarily as any traffic locally would be free of the restrictions of the rest of the network,
just that the server will probably be used for other things too... When I used another server to download from it the speed was around 30Mbits...

So if theres 10 people doing speedtests from the Karoo speedtest server it would show a poor result.

My speed is quite good when I first connect, but after about 20minutes it drops...if I disconnect then reconnect, speed goes back up.  Connected wireless using belkin router



After 20 minutes of been connected.


After disconnecting & reconnecting
