    Thanks :)

.... and it's failing again on both phones: last succesful test suddenly was less than 500Mb (instead of 985Mb). I didn't change anything except browser tabs :)

It sometime works, and when it works the results are all over the place: from what it should be (+900Mb up.down) all the way down to 0Mb down and 8Mb up. My clients don't have this problem, so it really is a problem with your speed tests.
