Hi Chris
I think I have figured out the TAP3 test. I was below my speed threshold tonight, so ran the TAP3 test as per the instructions.
The automatically assigned DNS server for the speedtest@speedtest_domain account is 194.72.9.34. When you click go, the following page should load
http://test3.speedtest.btwholesale.com/PerformanceTesterWS/indexTap3Frames.jsp?BBIP=&serviceId=BBEU1... , however the name is not resolving by the provided DNS server.
I ran some DNS lookups from telnet with my router (still using the BT test account) for test3.speedtest.btwholesale.com and also speedtest.btwholesale.com, but neither would resolve. I've attached some screenshots showing this and with my normal PN login details using OpenDNS.
If you manually put in the IP address, the TAP3 site also does not work even when using the test account.
I tried using DiG to see whether the DNS server was refusing the lookups, but it seems like it does not even get that far:

When I log back into my PN account, then I can query the DNS server - it just refuses my request:

Hopefully it's something simple and BTw can change some settings so things work again. There are a lot of people that need to run this test (as on the peak time slow down thread).
Thanks
