I've run 2 today, I bet it's something ID have done for us.

I saw Simon , no not that one, the other ID one, here earlier.

I'm not giving BT the praise.

I have NEVER  :( managed a bt speedtest since joining IDNET in November. Use IE7.
Did manage to do them with virgin.never, but it was hit and miss.

We don't seem to be getting a very clear picture of what's happening here. Have you tried with a different browser?

could you do a poll that lets you select area, browser, time, etc, straight on tester, several attemps, or cann use it

Sadly, not really. Polls are very blunt instruments, single choice, effectively. :(

Not about food, but just to say I finally managed a successful BT test mid-morning last week using Mozilla, but since then the test only completes 96%, saying 'exception:  access denied (java.net.Socket Permission 217.35.209.142:50301 connect, reso' and the rest is unreadable off the screen.  I've tried IE7, but the test won't even load at all with IE - I tried tunring off the phishing filter, but that made no difference. 

Rik

Odd. Most people are OK using IE7, Krysia. Have you checked your Java is up to date?

I've been trying for days now, and I keep getting the same error:

QuoteThe login name entered on this tool doesnt match that discovered by querying the network for your domain name. Please check your telephone number (or user name) and try again. If problem persists please contact your CP.

No success with IE either, although it has worked previously with SeaMonkey (Mozilla).

The problem is, it often gives that error rather than admit it's busy. Of course, it may be planned, BT want a test from the ISP before they do anything...  ::)

Yes, I wondered about that too - it really lets BT off the hook.  (And yes, my java is up-to-date.)

Rik

All I can say then, Krysia, is keep trying. :( Early mornings are reputed to be the best time.

Just tried using IE6, it went through straight away, no problem. ;)

It always does for me, any time of day or night.

Strange.

I'm still convinced it's a geographical thing, In, but I can't get enough information to prove it. :(

I think the problem is that there is a lack of resources in so many geographical areas!
