I can't really tell, my results are all weird due to being on a dynamic ip. Apparently my average is 3.4mbit even though i know all my videos load at 1mb/s most the time

The results are actually stored in browser via cookies. I have different results when using Chrome and IE - mainly because I mostly use IE then results are more accurate.

However since I only recently have a faster connection, looking at my IE stats brings the average down. So I cleared the Chrome cookies and used it when watching any YouTube clips, then ran the test after a few days to get a more accurate number.

Haha don't think so, went on it again with a new ip, youtube found no videos watched, havent cleared the cookies since i installed chrome, so im guessing it is done by ip?

or maybe its just weird hah
