Mindblowing download results on Speedtest.com.........................

Speedtest results vary a lot & I don't think it is a reliable site.............just see my result of BSNL dataone

Share your reliable speedtest website here

Take average of 5 results...
Thats what i do..,
You have a option in that website to record your prev speed and compare and take average..

But i too doubt them coz now Airtel is redirecting their speed test site to speedtest.com ...weird!
