BTW Performance Test shows my Downlink speeds Redlined

Lately I've been consistently getting red-lined Down-link speeds from BTW's Performance tests.

Other speed tests show speed as higher and withing the expected range on my line of 40-45Mbps, today's BTW test showed only 30Mbps, and suggests further tests are needed, inform your ISP.

Is there a problem? or is the BTW test unreliable?

Thanks rongtw.

It amazes me that Internet Explorers are not always wholly compatible, nor are websites. It cannot be beyond the wit of man to make both things happen as expected.

@danludlow have you tried running the tests on an alternative browser?

@LaurenB  Using MS edge still no better , it was allegedly in the hands of BT , I dont believe its a case of try another browser but BT needs to update the tester from Flash player based

Yep doesn't matter which browser is used the issue isn't browser related it's flash, it's old tech that is being phased out and browsers no longer supporting it, BTW needs to change to a tester using something other than flash instead of dragging their feet, thankfully the IP profile can still be had while we wait for them to pull their fingers out.
