Re: BT Wholesale Broadband Performance Test no longer work

@Gandalf

The BTw Performance Tester (further diagnostics) has recently & to date been working every time, better that ever I have previously experienced, was always very hit & miss for as far back as I can remember.
I currently use Pale Moon Browser for testing as the incorrect speed reporting issues still exist with Firefox.

Yes, there is a delay in obtaining the BRAS IP profiles from the BTw server, in my experience this has always been the case, the delay is usually a positive indication that the system is going to work, test failures are displayed very quickly.
The delay is and always has been greater when using "mouselike.org" BRAS tester.

Thanks to Gandalf for his perseverance with this issue and achieving what currently appears to be a positive outcome.

@Gandalf BTw need to testing firefox as it always incorrect speed. All other's browser is no problem. Anyway the BTw speed test with bras ip profile does work now after a pause 30 second of fetching from the BT system rather than a quick and fail it often. It's appear to be fixed now. The only last one to get it fixed is the firefox incorrect speed.

@goldenfibre / adslmax

The BTw Broadband Performance Test operation should not bother you too much now with your new VM line, unless of course you intend to keep your PN /BTw line as well !

The Mozilla / Firefox / BTw Performance Tester issue is an old one and has been well documented in many posts on most of the relevant forums, certainly beyond PN's control I would have thought and already well known to BTw / OR, just use another browser for performance testing, plenty available and all free.

Re: BT Wholesale Broadband Performance Test no longer work

Yep this is correct @tiffy my fibre and line only are placed for to cease (cancelled) by 19th December. Because I am now with Virgin Media cable broadband stand alone for £27 a month for 12 months with a speed of 221Meg down and 12Meg up. So, don't need plusnet and virgin media billing at the same time.

 

I would like to say thanks to PN and @Gandalf for the service to me for a long while since 2014. Time to move on with cable broadband.

 

But one day who know I could be back with PN if FTTP or G.Fast become availability in my area but I think it won't happen for a long while yet.

 

Cheers Smiley

Re: BT Wholesale Broadband Performance Test no longer work

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you all over here.

We're still looking at this with BTW. I'll post back when we've got more info.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Thanks but I think it time for BTW to updated new speedtester as this is now outdated and many sites are now no longer with flash player. Need to push BTW to bring in html5
