Is this Linux compatibility thing? I run two different distros on two PCs, but they both do the same. Is there any other way I can see the sync rate and IP profile?

Other than that, I would agree with pierre, the Bt speedtester is frankly rubbish, and its a joke that we have to use such a poor peice of programming, to get BT to accept a fault. One wonders if is all a conspiracy
I am sure Plus and many others are pushing BT to get this terrible excuse for a speedtester sorted out, but until then..........

As pierre stated the BT speedtester often suffers problems loading, running tests and working right. It is however the only speedtester to give true and accurate readings as it gives so much more than just the speed. If we are to investigate a problem for you then we need this tester as the results are logged with BT and we can access them.
AS a last resort if the BT speedtester is not working for you. We will accept speedtests from www.thinkbroadband.com and If you send in results from this you will need to copy and paste the URL from the speedtest into a ticket.
I hope this information helps.

This is only for this web site - not any other.
I enclose a screen dump (look near the top of the image) - taken after the site decided to have a kip.

Yes that is a frequent error message and alot of the time it will work at a later stage. I get that error aswell yet java works on every other website I visit in that same session.

The plusnet and thinkbroadband testers have both resolutely shown 160kbps for rthe last week. I have run a test with the router connected direct to the test socket. Is it time I raised a ticket? I can post the links to the TBB results.

Interestingly, though the latter of the two is PlusNet's own speed tester, they don't seem to accept that one ...... makes you wonder what the point of it is

Quote from: MysteryFCM If it helps, I frequently have issues with the BT one too, so tend to use the following;

you have missed the point. Plus Net do accept their own test,They have ownly recently iintroduced it as the previous one was unreliable. but the ONLY one that gives the result required is BT's own test, even if it has its fault with not being available at times.

1. Why bother with the expence and hassle of purchasing someone else's and re-branding it? (which then ups their outgoing costs)
2. Unless they're planning to upgrade their own to provide the relevant details they need.
/edit
My point btw, is that there's a plethora of reliable speed test site's available ...... and they all provide exactly the same info as their own does, most likely using identical methods.
