BT Speedtester

[#1]

Has anyone tried the BT speedtest on 21CN yet?
http://www.speedtester.bt.com
Just trying on my test line in the office and at home which were both installed this week and getting speeds below 100kbps (other speedtests are fine) and had a customer saying the same so wondering if there's any pattern.
Tried Safar on the test line on a Mac and IE on my home line on Windows 2K. Would be useful to gather feedback on what works or doesn't work as the case may be say that we can raise it as an issue (or identify what combination of browser/OS works) so if a few people could give it a go would be appreciated.
Thanks

bt tester even on my adsl line gave very low results very often double and three fig results.
i just tried to do the bt speed tester now i have bein switched to adsl2 but i keep getting system busy tried  a few times but the same.
came here to ask if this norm on the first day of wbc upgrade

[#3]

It worked fine for me earlier, although the speed was constrained by my PN profile still being 7150.

still getting test error (busy) at 23.30

It's just worked for me (on the old network) from NW England, but took longer than usual to get through the phone number check.

I can't use it for obvious reasons.
It;s been giving rubbish results on ADSL and ADSL2+ for months/years

[#7]

just managed to get a bt speed test done. the results cam back as what i would suspect why i was downloading shameless off 4OD
1500kbps ish on a 3000kbps profile.
if my line keeps its current adsl2 sync rate going till tomoro daylight i can smell a 3500kbps profile coming

not on ADSL:2 I normally for the last few months have had stupid throughput results, just done this pair

Ta, be interested to see if anyone else on 21CN gets the ~100kbps speeds myself and the other customer were seeing.

nothing else running on line at same time.
time of test same as post time.

This is quoted from a Speed Thread post this evening (went live 04/03/2009):

Cheers, those are more like what I'm seeing on the 2 lines I tried it on. We'll get that one fed back to BT after the bank holiday.

That's on my first 21CN enabled line.

Yep same here for me too.  TBH, BT should be ashamed of themselves. Its got to be the most unreliable speedtester there is, and BT say they need it to raise Speedtest faults.  I say get the damn thing fixed or scrap it for something better,

Had a BT engineer round.
One of the first things he said was "you know those BT speedtester results aren't reliable, don't you?"
