BT speed test. A new low

had to post this. Just checking if my bt ip profile had increased yet and the throughput result made me laugh
Your DSL connection rate: 3840 kbps(DOWN-STREAM),  832 kbps(UP-STREAM)
    IP profile for your line is - 2500 kbps
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 21 kbps

Dont panic mr Mannering speedtest.net came back as normal.
bt speed test really hates my line Angry but never had a 2 figure result before

Re: bt speed test a new low

If and when it works, the BT Speedtest is fine for checking IP Profile, but I've found of late that it's impossible to have any confidence in the throughput figure.
