Hi all. I am waiting to go on the trial, meanwhile I have been perusing the forums.
I have seen links to several speed testers but have not seen this one mentioned.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/diagnostics
There is useful info on streaming speeds.
Too bad I am not fast enough to stream Hi-Def content
So whadaya think is it any good?

Looks like it is powered by Ookla like the Plusnet tester.
I like that it averages a number of tests.
Edit: Actually I prefer the Plusnet result (I'm not on 21CN):

Interesting thing about these tests are that to get HD I would need to have an IP profile of 4,000 or higher as 3,500 wouldn't cut it.
Now if I was on LLU I could get HD easily as I can hold sync at 3800kbps without problems
