Is this in Penistone?
Very Good - no it's not in Barnsley. It's in Rowley Regis in Sandwell, West Midlands. It's also no where near Minge Lane or Fanny Street.
The speed can vary a lot depending which country you connect to. My default connection destination is Singapore for general day to day stuff because that gives me the fastest speeds and is very stable/reliable. The PC I ran the test on is connected to the router by ethernet cable.
Thanks for the reply @Crossy. I did wonder if it was to protect from potential malware distribution/infection.
It's not a big issue. You answered my question, so the topic can now be closed.
Update: I could attach .pdf files to posts in the past. See post below. Perhaps it has been omitted/lost during one of the software upgrades since then. Also the .pdf in the example below cannot now be displayed/downloaded.
