BT speedtester... Test

Ted · Jun 04, 2011, 16:09:55

Would somebody please try a test at http://speedtester.bt.com/

I just keep getting "Authorisation failed Incorrect Telephone Number - Please try again"

"incorrect telephone number" Really?

Thanks

I would if I could connect to the site Ted, the page won't even resolve for me. I can tell you I have had that error myself on many occasions though.

works for me but twice early on in the week I just couldnt get to the main page.

it does that though doesnt it, very temperamental

Ted · Jun 04, 2011, 16:19:32

Cheers guys, I can get it to load, tried on two machines but still the same phone line though. BT, what a waste of space!

I'll try again later.

zappaDPJ · Jun 04, 2011, 16:20:29

It is indeed the most temperamental website I've ever known.

.Griff. · Jun 04, 2011, 16:23:03

It's taken 6 minutes to load so far and I still haven't got to the part where you enter your phone number..

Ted · Jun 04, 2011, 16:27:23

It won't load for me now either. Anyone else seeing any slow speeds? I'm down to 2meg from 6m+. Been like it all morning, feels like I've been capped!
Sync and margin are fine 8128 \ 9

Speeds are fine, Ted, but I can't get the BT site to load right now, I think it's taken the weekend off.

zappaDPJ · Jun 04, 2011, 17:10:09

Speeds are exceptionally good for me just now.

This is the very reason they took away the "remove karma" button!

I do apologise Ted, I really should know better because someone did the very same thing to me yesterday...

Which is a worry considering half of the point of BT is now to provide internet.

zappaDPJ · Jun 04, 2011, 20:25:59

If the back end is as abysmal as the front page markup, it's surprising it works at all.

talos · Jun 06, 2011, 07:39:57

Worked for me

EVENTUALLY

FritzBox · Jun 06, 2011, 07:53:45

I keep trying, but it won't have it

pctech · Jun 06, 2011, 09:53:57

Works for me (FF 4.0.1 with Java 1.6 update 25, might be worth checking you haven't got multiple versions/updates if you can't get it to load, can't tell you how many times thats hobbled websites and Java based apps at work.

We've done all that in the other thread

pctech · Jun 07, 2011, 18:35:13

Yes ok.

Technical Ben · Jun 08, 2011, 12:10:45

At this rate it might be better to try a different reality instead of browser.

Glenn · Jun 08, 2011, 12:13:13

It was working fine for me this morning.
