Title: Is BT Speedtester working for anyone else?
Post by: Aaron on Apr 04, 2012, 20:25:02
http://www.speedtester.bt.com/  -   ADSL and Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) Speed Test

I've not had any luck with it for the last 3 weeks. I choose yes, input my phone number and click Go. After a few seconds of checking user details, it follows with:

The Performance Tester is currently unable to run a speed test for your broadband connection. Please try again shortly, however if this problem persists, raise the issue with your service provider.

Any ideas?

It kind of works for me, it just doesn't work well.

Always reporting around 7mb down and 0 up  :laugh:

Works for me but, as with Paul, gives rubbish results. The last one gave me 270Kbps (yes, Kbps) on an 80/20 fibre connection with a 69.9Mbps profile :dunno:

Speedtest.net and tbb both gave more sensible results, around 60-65Mbps.

The beta one seems OK, but doesn't give upload speed or profile.
