So today i decided to do a Speedtest of my Vodafone Broadband and this is what i got.......

https://www.speedtest.net/result/1035230011.png

I normally get download 6-7Mb and all of a sudden 79.53Mb!! What????

It says 79.53Mb and yet the max downloading speed i get is 110kbps. 2-3 weeks ago i used to get 700-800kbps (not torrents).

something is wrong right?
am i the only one with this problem?

basicly it seems it was loading from your web browsers cache.. not the internet

Did you clear temp internet files?
Refresh speedtest page (Press F5).
It is definitely loading the download file directly off your PC (unless you have another PC in your setup acting as a Caching Server - Squid or similar).
