BT speed checker U/S for several days

[#1]

People have tried service IDs to no avail.

[#2]

Another possibility I've been musing over is whether the fact that I manually configured my service configuration when I first set up the Thomson gateway might have potential to cause any problems. It's a long time ago now, and I can't recall exactly why I chose to do so, but I did research options prior to setting up the gateway, and I think there was a very slight variation from the automatic configuration which was preferable for me.

Well it's in commuting distance. Less pedantry please.

I'm getting the same errors as everyone else. Tried 4 times throughout today to run a speed test and all come back with an error.

[#5]

You need to give the information Bob has asked for:

If people continue to encounter actual errors (rather than discrepancies with the results) then do continue to post providing as much of the information below as possible: Quote Operating system: e.g. Windows/Linux version Web browser/Version in use: e.g. Firefox 4.0b11 Antivirus/Security software in use: e.g. Avira AntiVir Personal 10.0.0.611 Router make/model and whether wired/wireless: e.g. BT Voyager 2110 wired Java version: Obtainable from here Error message/Description of problem: Try to be descript Time and date the error was encountered: Quite important this one so we can identify what happened and why The only other bit of info I need are your telephone numbers/unique circuit identifiers, however don't worry about those as I can pull them from our systems.

I've been trying for the last three days without result - so I thought I would give it another try - maybe a fluke, but it worked.....
Just remembered to add the details
Op System - Windows 7
Browser - Google Chrome 10.0.648.11
AV -  Microsoft Security Essentials  (I've tried most of the free Avs and this is by far the best - it doesn't have all the bells and whistle reports/screens etc, but you don't notice it running at all and I appear to be Virus free - I Hope !)
Router - Linksys WAG120N wireless
Java version 6 update 24
No errors tonight But for the last three days Mid to late evening - it just said "an error occured..^ sorry can't remember the rest

@linux @caulbox, I've had BT look into the examples of yours I provided them with. They've ascertained that one of you has run the test 18 times (guessing caulbox) and not succeeded at all, whilst the other (linux) had tried plentiful times with only a single success.
They've attributed it to another known issue that affects a subset of users. I could provide the technical details but there's little point to be honest. All you really need to know is that it's absolutely nothing to do with your equipment or set up and is something they're working towards fixing. No ETA at present but somebody will let me know once the issue's resolved.

[#8]

Thanks for the update.
Yeah 18 times without success seems about right for me.

[#9]

Thanks for the update Bob. It's a relief to know that it has nothing to do with us. I am intrigued as to what the problem was.
As for trying plentiful times with only a single success, I presume that single success was on 5th February at 12:47, the last time I know it worked for me. I don't recall it working after that, though perhaps it did soon afterwards and I didn't save the result.

[#10]

Mine is now working OK, both down and upstream tests completed successfully at around 6pm on 02/03/11.

Bob - can I also ask whether you might have changed my Thomson Gateway config as a consequence of a possible (time related?) glitch the detail I posted earlier? Whilst checking my DSL connection stuff a few minutes ago, I noticed  that my router's event log seems to have been totally cleared. My Thomson Gateway configuration details have also now changed so as to read:

Nope, nothing to do with me I'm afraid.

Another test failure at 10:35.
Looks like it's just me left

Ah, In that case I'm guessing that I might have triggered the change myself 'in some strange way'. What I did do last night was to browse further to (at least I thought) only 'look at' the options presented when I clicked on deeper links within the gateway config page. For example the Pick a task - Set Up link took me to a Thomson Gateway Easy Setup Wizard pop up window (which I immediately closed, doing nothing). I also 'just looked' at the "configure" link at the top of the page, as well as 'just looking at' options then presented in the drop-lists. On no occasion did I click to "Apply" any changes, but I'm guessing that some change must have occurred as a consequence of my browsing behaviour anyway?
That was last night however, and what I do did find a bit strange is that my Event Log was totally cleared when I re-visited at 9.00 a.m. this morning. But I've now just repeated a similar browsing pattern (to assist in posting these comments) and lo and behold my event log which was reporting no events (in all categories) has now re-discovered itself, and all recorded events have become visible again! (no events recorded about any config changes though)
Curiouser and curiouser!

No. You are not alone Strat.
Still not working here, latest test failure five minutes ago.
