...on BT now has a 'FTTC' button and a 'FTTP' button
how long has that been on
It wasn't there the last time I used it, Baz.
I noticed it this morning, it wasn't there on Wednesday...
They've alse broke a bit of it- if I try to run it using Opera it says I haven't got Java installed! Oh yes I have >:(
It's OK on Safari though.
BT broke something, Bill? Surely not. ;D
It must have happened at some point in the last 24 hours as it wasn't there this time yesterday.
Does it use a larger download with the fibre setting have you noticed, Griff?

The options are FTTP or ADSL/FTTC, so not many people will be able to answer that!
Who's idea was it to roll out an update on the weekend when no one is in the office to fix any problems? :whistle:
Perhaps they thought a Sunday was quiet so not too many users putting a strain on the system?
Weekends will be at least time-and-a-half, but I'm sure that's entirely coincidental :P

This is true. :)
At least one report that it's broken on Firefox/PC as well...
No surprise there then, Bill. :shake:
Also a failure on IE (don't know which version)... but the other user is also on FTTC, no reports yet of failure on non-FTTC connections.
Odd, I can't believe even BT would break it on the most common browser around!!
Didn't it only work with IE in its early days? BT are probably testing with IE6 for that matter. ;)
Another failure (all these are in the Fibre forum on tbb) with Chrome... all on FTTC.
But it still works for me with Safari :dunno:
Maybe BT have switched to Macs, Bill. ;)
From Commodore PETs, you mean? :P
A failure on ADSL2+ reported now, so it looks possible that BT have broken it properly. Again.
I like to see them do a thorough job. ;)
Yep down for me too. Not on FTTC or anything.
At least it gives a bit of variety... on my Mac:
Opera- complains there's no Java and fails if you try to run the test.
Camino- complains there's no Java but successfully completes the speedtest.
Safari- runs with nary a problem.
Go figure ;D
Just tested BT Tester, working for me on OE. :o
Careful, Brian, that means they're watching you. ;D
I guess its playing up again

These figures represent the ratio while sententiously passing Sub BE, Normal BE and Priority BE marked traffic.
The results of this test will vary depending on the way your ISP has decided to use these traffic classes.
I wish ::)
I've tried to use the new and improved BT speed test site a number of times this week to log low throughput. The only result I got back was an error.
As if by magic, now my throughput is running at full tilt it completes the test ;D

The ways of BT are wondrous to behold ;D
Or something like that :P
;D
I hope they behave themselves for the next 4 or 5 hours, I've just started downloading from iTunes... about 55GB of it :eek4:
(Getting 3 - 4 MBytes/sec atm, so not too bad so far :fingers:)
BT have fixed it for you, Zap. Jimmy will be round with your medal later. ;D
