We're also producing support videos now, here's one about broadband speed checks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKnZUl3kc3Y&list=PLZx9FPn3_-IWW7WetOtIy8JV4reZCA0MU

I watched the video and it states that you can't run the speed test as Apple and Android don't support Flash
Can I have some comments/suggestions for the misguided souls who don't have a proper computer

I use the Speedtest.net App on all Droid devices, however I will test since I am also curious
Tested  http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/ & see & it won't let me choose yes or no

You will need to be connected to your laptop or desktop computer in order to perform an accurate seed test.

with no options to carry out a speedtest
A quick look in the App store does not show ant BTSpeedtest see https://play.google.com/store/search?q=BT%20speedtest&c=apps&hl=en
It seems that they have Apss for Wifi / Sport SmartTalk / Cloud / Mobile Express, yet not a single one for Speed, see https://play.google.com/store/search?q=BT&c=apps&hl=en

they need to be more specific iOS doesn't support flash, Mac OS X does and you can run all the speedtests with no issues.
having not watched the video, not sure if that's clear or not. trusing your old ears here Jim

either the video is wrong or your ears are mishearing.
flash of course works on "apple", and by apple i assume they mean any system running Mac OS X.
of course, iOS doesn't support Flash, but you wouldn't be running a BTW speedtest on a wireless mobile device anyway surely.
android, depends which version of android, early versions do, current versions don't.
but again, why would anyone run a BTW speedtest on a wireless mobile device?

That's conclusive that MAC will run a speedtest albeit in Beta
However will it run the BT Speedtester(s) as linked above ?

[#10]

NO, nor does the thinkbroadband test work either...

The one I was referring to is the one linked from 11110_110 (which is "the new beta version of the thinkbroadband speed test." http://labs.thinkbroadband.com/ispa/

Which 11110_110's Screenshot in the post immediately above mine, clearly shows it working on his MAC
