No problem, and just post the link here, as the image is hosted on their site,
so we can maybe get an idea at least.

I mean its the ISP that controls bandwidth not hit router. Well they both can but i suspect the ISP to be the limiting factor every time. Am i correct in thinking that?
Well, the speed test can just give you the result for the sort of speeds that you are capable of connecting at.
You may be correct when you say that it's the ISP, not the router that controls bandwidth,
but as he said, his modem is sort of old, so maybe a speed test will at least give an indication of the speeds it may possibly connect at.
Also, like I said, my own ISP, tends to be somewhat slower than connecting with that VPN there, usually connecting at about 24-27 Mbp/s,
so maybe it's possible to bypass ISP limitations by connecting to a VPN, that allows a faster connection.
