Is mybroadbandspeed broken or not?

For a while the message 'Sorry - My Broadband Speed is currently experiencing technical difficulty and may display misleading test results. Thanks for bearing with us while we fix things.' disappeared, but now it's back. It seems to work fine (it gives accurate results) so what's with the message?

Still broken.  The network the box is on isn't scaled for multiple Fibre speed tests.

It sometimes gives me the correct results, other times it is wildly out.

Plusnet, if you think it's broken, surely it would make sense to just take the site down altogether? Then when it comes back we can know for sure that it is fixed.

It doesn't seem to be logging results.

Well, in the space of an hour, it's gone from giving full speed results, to ... not so great results lol - Upload is consistently great though.

Mine gives a very close match to www.speedtest.net.

You're not on Fibre though, so it's less likely to affect you.

Re: Is mybroadbandspeed broken or not?

I've done 4 tests, 3 when I posted earlier, ond one a few minutes ago. All with expected results (not on fibre), but they aren't saving for me.
