Puzzling Internet Speed
I have used Google Chrome as my browser for many years. Periodically I do internet speed tests. Most, recently have given satisfactory results for my set up with BT Fibre 1 (I think that is the correct name) with a download speed of over 30Mb/s and upload speed of over 9mb/s. I recently changed to Microsoft Edge for my browser and did some more speed tests. I was amazed at the huge increase in speed typified by the attached screenshot. It is only with this speed test provider that these high speeds results are achieved. The other 2 providers shown at the foot of the screen shot have also been tried, usually with results in the mid 30's for download.
My question is how realistic is this high result and if so why do the other providers not give similar results?
My machine is an HP Pavilion desktop unit running W10 version 1909 and for these tests was connected by ethernet cable to my BT Smart Hub 2 router.
