Make sure you have the latest version of flash as that could be a possible cause if you don't have it.

You could be right, I had no indication from Update Manager (Ubuntu 10.04.2) but I looked on Synaptic Manager and Lo and Behold there has been an update. I have installed that.....BUT....MBS still does not work. My XP machine also is in the same position, I will see what breed of Flash is in that now. It all worked a few weeks ago on both.. Any views?

I have checked that I have Adobe Flash Player version 10.3.181.14- 0 lucid on board. But I see that synaptic says it is compatible with Firefox 3 and not 4. Any other clues? I have 3 on the laptop and 4 on the Win XP machine. I get the MBS panel come up but after pressing Start it says Preparing to test Download but nothing else happens.

I'm not sure what else to suggest as there are no issues with My Broadband Speed.

Further to the above, I have tried again and waited an awful long time for the Download Test to happen (to fast before) and it finally gave me the following:- Download 128kbs Up 374kbs. I then looked ar the router which gave the following:- Data Rate (Down) 2752kbs., Noise Margin 17db., Attenuation 39db. These are typical for the router for some time. The download speed is evidently sluggish but not, I think as bad as the MBS figures indicate. Food for thought?

Surprise....surprise! Download right now back to what is "normal" for me here (about 2 Megs). I have not done anything to the in-house system whatsoever! All very strange! It rather looks like BT are up to something again, since this variability has been around for some months now, not only to me. I do know that there was a major replacement of wooden poles along the route to the exchange and we have had some pretty severe winds at times since (windy right now). Perhaps there is some overhead joint that is not quite right. Any feedback from BT or others recently that might give a clue?
