mybroadbandspeed test
Seems to be something wrong with 'My Broadband Speed Test' Worked on the second attempt then on a third try got an error message 'not accessible 
It seems to be OK again now so maybe there was a glitch that got fixed. Maybe a man and his screwdriver arrived at PN Towers 
Still fails for me in Opera but works OK in FF 
It looks like either the webserver running the site is repeatedly dying (telnet to port 80 occasionally gives connection refused - ie nobody home) or there's more than one server hiding behind the one ip address and one or more of them are defunct in some way or other.
Anywaysup it's broken

I would like to complain that the pointer on the speed test wont go round far enough. On my office connection it just gets to the 10mb+ mark and sticks there!! ( ducks to avoid all the rotten eggs from those with 'normal' ADSL lines )
Actually for a while after we were upgraded to ADSL2, it still only gave about 6mb speeds and I put it down to a fault with the speedtester. Then we realised we still had a 10mb network card as the uplink from our firewall to the ADSL router, doh!
Replacing with a 100mb card gives a nice 14-15mb speed ( ducks again )
