Upload speed faster than download speed

I currently have a 900mbps package and use a SH Pro router instead of the SH Plus router I was provided.

I am getting bizarre speed test results as below, is this just because certain sites don't work properly?

Pics all approved now. 

I tried a couple of times with different location and it seem very inconsistant.

@Mustrum I did same, four times, changed servers which takes a little while for them to do so, but never got anything weird in response, always the 500/70 split, possibly it's the 900mb package, anyway speed test's are about as much good as that chocolate fireguard, tell you nothing, short lived, only when you wish to do a sustained high speed download do you know how good the network is.

Next thing I can do is ask a neighbour who has the same setup as myself, which will give a degree of consistency ie Same cabinet, same manhole, same router. It does however demonstrate that basic speed tests are not reliable. This brings into question the reliability of the Speed guarantee!

@Ewan15 And where did you get that from, the test of speed to the router is the guarantee and it is on download only, ie 900 to yours with whatever they said in the e-mail to you as your minimum.

Speed test's and chocolate fireguards are the too that go together.
