BT speedtester is often overloaded.

Late at night or very early morning you can sometimes get in,it seems to work ok for a few days then it goes for weeks when it is impossible to get on.

Strangely enough I have never ever had any problem getting onto the BT tester at any time.  Often I have to just leave it to it for a few minutes, but it comes through in the end.

I wonder whether there is anything regional to these different experiences.

it's always very slow in case you're wondering that.

There do seem to have been some strange issues with the BT speed tester. For a while, a number of Max users (of which I was one) were always directed to the old tester. It seems to have related to when a user moved to Max, and there do seem to have been some geographical issues - possibly just reflecting bottlenecks in more populated areas?

I often find it slow and often get an error. But if I try on a sunday afternoon it always seems to work fine!

Early mornings and weekends are best, Lance, which suggests that BT engineers may be the cause of the difficulties at other times...
