One should be "Show statistics" that you've used already, the other "Connection Status". If you click Connection Status, in the box you should see a Connect and Disconnect button - remember these, as you'll need to use them several times with the subsequent tests to avoid rebooting/resyncing.
Do you have Java jre-7u10 installed? You'll need it.
Also make sure you have no other programs running, especially P2P and anything using the Internet.
Please use a wired Ethernet connect and turn the Wireless off for the future tests.
Now, Click Disconnect (in Connection Status). Then go to the Basic Settings page (LH menu) and see where you have your Login and Password entered for Plusnet.
Replace the login with bt_test@startup_domain and leave your existing password (as any should do), if you have a problem come back and delete the password and leave blank and try again. Anyway now click Apply at the bottom of the page. Now go to Connection Status and click Connect.
In a new tab in the browser enter 217.35.209.142 and press return. When the Speedtest page comes up, if you are prompted to allow the Java plug-in, allow it. Then enter the required details and run the test. Copy and save the results, and close the Test tab.
Go back to Connection Status and click Disconnect and then goto Basic Settings.
If the test result you got is still slow ie 11-13 Mbps then change the Login and password back to your Plusnet ones, click Apply, go and click Connect and the post the results here.
If the result was fast ie. 16-17Mbps or so, change the Login to bt_test_user@plusdsl.net and the click Apply. Click Connect. Open another tab and enter 217.35.209.142 again, press return and run the test again. Copy and save the results. Close the tab. Click Disconnect and go to Basic settings.
Enter your Plusnet login and password, click Apply, click Connect and post the results.
If you can't get 217.35.209.142 to run, try 217.32.105.42 instead. If still no joy, try 193.113.8.194. In each case, don't forget to try with a password (say Test) and a password that is blank. If some tests are running but fail, write down which run even if they fail, and those that don't run at all.
As a last resort, if none of those work with the Logins etc suggested then try Login speedtest@speedtest_domain and password testing on each of those IPs in turn.
Sorry this is a bit long winded - good luck.

You have been connected to this page due to one of the following reasons. You must now shut down your browser and Internet applications before attempting to reconnect.
•The BTWholesale access circuit to your Service Provider is currently down.
Your service should be resumed soon.
Or

Or
•You are testing your connection to your Service Provider using 'bt_test_user@domain' where domain is your Service Provider domain name.
Or

sorry for the delay replying, but I've had exactly the same issue here - getting the BT Wholesale Home page at http://62.6.38.125/index.html what ever login I could get to work. And the same which ever IP (of 5 that I tried) or url used, even on a conventional login. I've only once got it to run at all on a conventional login - yesterday evening. Seeing if I can get any further information.

At least you've got one step further with the speedtest domain than I've managed to get it, but then if it's still broken it's no more use than a chocolate teapot, so I guess we won't know where the issue is before you go, unless of course you can get it to run this evening
