(as per the kitz.co.uk guide) I have tried using:
USER: speedtest@speedtest_domain
PASS: testing
with http://217.35.209.142/ & http://217.32.105.42 and even http://www.speedtester.bt.com/
Unfortunately I am getting the same error message - log in with your usual ISP log in and try again. I can carry out a normal BT speedtest using my PN log in but this is only test 1 and there is no option to test again using the BT log in.
Where am I going wrong?

For the second test , you change the Username/password on your router to the BT one, speedtest@startup_domain ( password doesnt matter ) , Then you repeat the speedtest. By using the BT account you are on the BT domain rather than the PlusNet one and therefore you eliminate the ISP network as being responsible for any slowdown.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

That is my question - how do I get to the second test? I can carry out a normal speedtest using my PN username but I'm given no option to proceed to the second test using the BT test login.

I've entered all my details correctly and made sure no other windows or applications are open. The speedtester starts the first test but only completes about 10% and then sticks at that point. I've tried leaving it for about 15mins and it just sticks at that one point. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to leave it for longer?
Thanks
