BT Speedtester

[#1]

may be every bt wholesale customer should log a speed fault with speed tester results as prove  and then maybe bt wholesale will sort the speed tester out

Maybe they are -
"LATEST: Due to Application Maintainance you may get difficulty in Testing till 08:00AM"

www.speedtester.bt.com or speedtester.bt.com ?
I'm sure when I looked before, nslookup was giving different IP addresses for these two. I've just tried again and now both are saying 217.32.105.42, 217.35.209.142 (looked up on 212.159.6.9).
However the office DNS server is still saying 217.35.209.142, 217.32.105.42 for speedtester.bt.com. I wonder if something has changed recently and the office DNS hasn't picked it up yet?
