This is a standard (permanent) error.
All the BT speedtester is good for is for showing your BT profile.
It doesn't check speed because it crashes at a figure of 96%.
Use the Plusnet speedtester - especially out of hours and use it on support tickets.

I came on here intending to ask about it and was pleased to find that others were having the same problem because I thought there was something wrong with my Java Runtime setup. Using IE7 I got no error message at all. The Java symbol flashed up momentarily and then changed to a little cross in the corner. I then tried using FF and got a little message: "Applet: ticker-applet2 not inited" . I assumed this meant that a Java applet hadn't been initialised correctly which led me to suspect that my Java Runtime had become corrupted.
Thanks for subduing my fears.

FF 3.0.3 and Java 1.6 update 7
The UK's next generation net infrastructure is safe in BT's hands.....pure nonsense.
Why don't the government pay someone who knows how to run this stuff like Cogent or Level 3 to build, operate and maintain it rather than a dinosaur that should have been allowed to become extinct years ago and has been forced into the 21st Century by regulator pressure.

Quote from: axisofevil Why does it use Java?
Probably because it is cross platform so they don't have to write code for multiple browsers

I get "Exception access denied, java.net socket denied permission " errors
so to me - it is not "fit for purpose" and a waste of time

There needs to be a test component to monitor from the client side and provide feedback to the server application.
The tend to use either Java (BT) or Adobe Flash (Plusnet's own speedtester)
