anyone had problems with it the last few days? it seems to not work when l use it with FireFox... lve noticed it today and yesterday, l get passed the two entries of my number and the username part but from there unless l use IE l only see my profile.. only when using IE do l get an actual speed test.
 
It's fine here on Firefox

Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
IP profile for your line is - 6500 kbps
DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) 8128 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 6035 kbps
 
tested using firefox and got results ok

although it gives a lower result than thinkbroadband speedtester which one do we belive bt says 750k thinkbb says 1.7m

It is recommended by BT to use IE over firefox, I have always found the test a bit flakey when using firefox.
 
Hi Timeless,

Just a thought are you using No Script ? If you are and you have "FORBID JAVA" box ticked in the PLUGINS that maybe why the BT speedtester is not working. I found the same thing happens when I use Speedtest.net.

Regards Paul
 
thats never botherd me before even tho l completely allow java script on select sites, BT speed tester being one of the few. regardless firefox has just been updated and l cannot be completely sure l tried it before it did...
