Just hang up after the lady reads your number back to you.

Please enter your Telephone Number (e.g. 01234123456) Or Service ID Or Both , below then click on "Go" to start the performance test.

Service ID
Authorisation failed Incorrect Telephone Number - Please try again
Just seem too coincidental with leaving BT and moving over to Plusnet.

Quote from: galaxy66 I have just tried to test my broadband speed on BT's speedtester and it states it is an incorrect telephone number?
Just happened to me, although I ran a test last night without a problem. I also dialled 17070 to confirm that my number, or my memory of it, had not mysteriously changed overnight. So this must be a BT problem. I'm with BT for phone and Plusnet for broadband, by the way.
The exact error message is "Authorisation failed Incorrect Telephone Number - Please try again".

Quote from: ReedRichards The exact error message is "Authorisation failed Incorrect Telephone Number - Please try again".
Hour and a half later, I no longer get the "Incorrect Telephone Number" message, just one stage further to "The Performance Tester is currently unable to run a speed test for your broadband connection. Please try again shortly, however if this problem persists, raise the issue with your service provider."

@ joesoho,
I'm concerned about what you've mentioned and can see that a fault is open at present. Feel free to give me a shout if you have any issues with that.
@galaxy66,
I've just tried running some tests on your line and couldn't find any issues. I'm guessing if you call someone with caller display that the correct number shows there too?
EDIT: I've just spotted a post from another customer who's had the same issue so it seems that we need to raise that with our suppliers.
