That's not an insurmountable problem, I hear DSLStats will run using Wine. Or you could grab a Raspberry PI.

  The goal post moving seems at least partly an excuse to avoid work, surely enough was known to make the estimates realistic in the first place.  My estimates are now on their third edit.  Assuming that the lowest figures are the ones that matter when raising a fault things have changed a lot.

    At sign up FTTC range B impacted 80 -   73 down
                                  a year later  60 -   34 down
                      now   21 month later 50.6 -30 down

Confirmed - v5.6 is running fine under Wine on El Capitan here

A little like the BTW side cop out when it comes to throughput levels, IE you sync at 80/20 have an IP profile of 77.35 yet they consider it acceptable if throughput falls down as low as 40mbps because they have not got the capacity in parts of the uk, for full throughput at peak times, but the ADSL availability estimate has always been out for my line, always under estimated what i can get
So as you say it's done to avoid fixing things that will be the only reason
