Plusnet Speedtest

[#1]

Why has the speedtest stopped working on plusnet, or is it just me ?

[#2]

It hasn't worked for at least two years 

[#3]

It worked two weeks ago for me, but has now stopped

It 'works' but the results cannot be relied upon.

[#5]

But the point is it did something but now does nothing

It worked for me just now

Which Speedtester exactly is the OP talking about? - IF it's http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk/ then it works fine for ADSL1 connections and the results are fairly accurate and I've just tested it and it's working.

As I am not allowed to "quote"
I don't know who or what I am replying to !
But yes that is the web site that I am trying to do the speed test with, but does not work for me so why does it work for some and not others ?
Come on Plusnet please get involved and help

[#9]

The speedtest should function, albeit with reduced accuracy. Others on this thread have confirmed it works for them, so if it's not working at all for you then it's likely to be an issue local to yourself.
Can you use any other similar speedtests such as speedtest.net ?

Hi and thanks Chris
As I have said it used to work ok, and has just stopped working.
But what do you mean" so if it's not working at all for you then it's likely to be an issue local to yourself." (what do you mean issue locally) ?

If it's working for every other customer on this thread then it's highly unlikely to be an issue with the website itself, it's more likely to be something on your computer stopping this page from loading or performing the speedtest. That's why I asked if you could use other speedtest sites to try and narrow down the issue.

It works for me and I get very close results on fibre (down / up )
think Broadband    24860      8270
Ookla                        25060      7660
P Net                        24951      7793

IIRC the speed test requires Flash Player.
You can check that Flash is installed and working on your PC here:

Alternatives speedtesters requiring Flash are http://www.speedtest.net/ ; or http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/speedtest2.html or http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/
Slightly more sophisticated and requires Java http://myspeed.visualware.com/index.php
