These are the same results I get on several PCs, laptop and desktop,

Always the same results. Very consistent.
If you go to the websites and also run the speed test you will see
how they do it but it still does not explain the difference.

I've run tests just now on both; to a server in London, 200 miles to
the south.
The time locally is 5-00pm and the kids are all home from school on a
rainy day.

Speedtest: down = 2.75 KB/s, up = 0.79 KB/s, ping 34 ms SpeedOf.me:
down = 2.93 KB/s, up = 0.81 KB/s, latency 45ms

I have a telephone wire connection; and the results are my usual.
The speed graphs displayed on each site during the downloads are
revealing. I had several deep valleys on both.

Correction. Read "Mbps" instead of "KB/s".

I was going to ask if you were on dial-up. ;-)

I guess it's a BT wire so it might as well be dial-up :-)
100 miles south of Ed I'm seeing 94.96Mbps down and 6.17Mbps up


Hello Birmingham. I don't like Brummie accents.

Nope, 100 miles east of there, thank goodness :-)

Try this one. It has cool graphics:
http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest

I like that site!
The results are similar to the SpeedOf.Me site but the info reported is
much better.

And I get an error message about Java with no additional advice!!!

That's very strange. It doesn't use Java, which is good since I don't have
it installed. Did you try a different browser by chance? Works fine here
with Firefox 41 and IE11.
