Has the BT speedtester changed

On clicking on http://217.35.209.142/ I now get this screen and the next page has the username and ISP separate so you fill in username in the first box and plusdsl.net in the second

Re: Has the BT speedtester changed

Lets hope they've made a really radical change - to make it work!

Re: Has the BT speedtester changed

It worked for me and informed me that my IPprofile had dropped to 3000knps  Angry
Am now trying to find out why as the router is still synched at 4000kbps although with a reboot early this morning showing up in the  log but nothing else

Yep - The service ID is your CBUK number, which you shouldn't need to enter, because I doubt you'll know what it is!

Re: Has the BT speedtester changed

When I try to run it I find that I can't key in to the telephone number box (two different browsers).
Looks like another cunning BT plan - won't accept fault reports without speed tests and won't let you run speed tests!

Re: Has the BT speedtester changed

Shocked Beelimey Shocked They must have done something different, because I have just tried it, and it is the first time it has ever worked!
Download speedachieved during the test was - 887 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 200-1000 Kbps.

Re: Has the BT speedtester changed

It will cause complaints.
Apparently 600kbps - 7150kbps is "acceptable"

400Kbps was "acceptable" on IPStream and IPStream Max.

Re: Has the BT speedtester changed

It's certainly an improvement - actually returned a realistic download speed, but:
As if there isn't already enough confusion with terms, during the 'testing' phase, it states that my 'configured download throughput speed' is 3000. Er, no, that's the IP Profile. On the 'results' page, it correctly calls it the IP Profile, and 2670, correctly, as the 'download speed'.

Hehe.  That's how BT have configured your download speed to be Wink

Not all of them are CBUK some are BBEU and can be found from the tickets.  Cool

400Kbps was "acceptable" on IPStream and IPStream Max.

If your profile is below 2000 than the acceptable range change to 400kpbs-2000kbps. I know this as my profile until today was 1750 and I was seeing this yesterday when I was checking to see how quickly BT DLM system increased my profile. It took between 22 to 26 hours and then another 12 to 16 hours for PN to follow. So it took 38 hours from a higher resync, system generated, to go from a profile of 1750 to 2500.
