BT speedtest and FLASH

[#1]

as i said, i use both OSX and Windows
if you are looking in system preference then you are looking in the wrong place.
we are talking specifically about Chrome settings

Oh for heavens sake: I *also* looked in System preferences. Frankly mate, stop trying to be "helpful". Thanks for your all your valuable input.

That wouldn't work I'm afraid. The BTWholesale speed tester is tied into BT's backend systems and so also retrieves eg. data on your IP Profile, exchange etc and can also be setup just to test the connection between you and your exchange taking your ISP out of the loop in advanced troubleshooting. It then also ports the results to your ISP which is needed to raise faults with BT.

I don't recall being asked to login or anything like that with BT's speed test so I am unsure how it's tied in with there "backend systems" ?

[#5]

you give it your telephone number, don't you?
that's all the ISP needs.

[#6]

yes for the advanced test, actually I only ever bothered with that step to discover what they had set my IP profile to.

It asks for your phone number to go lookup your IP Profile so that it can then show your speed test results against that & then deduce if BT consider the result unsatisfactory. If they do Plusnet will ask you to run the advanced test where you're asked to make a connection to a BT box (I'm guessing at your exchange) rather than Plusnet at PPPoE level & run another speed test. This is so Plusnet have both readings to go to BT with checking the speed of your connection to the exchange & the speed of your connection to the exchange & then onto one of Plusnet's gateways.
