www.speedtester.bt.com always busy?
« on: August 14, 2009, 09:17:23 AM »

Hi,
Yesterday (Thursday) and today I've tried http://www.speedtester.bt.com/ during the morning.
On the first attempt I get the message: "The system is currently busy. Please try again shortly, however if this problem persists, raise the issue with your service provider".

I try again and the test runs. But it then fails to store and display the results giving the same message as above.
On the third attempt it says: "You have attempted a repeat test within 3 hours of the test providing results on your circuit. Please allow a minimum of 3 hours between tests" which is a bit rich seeing as it didn't give me a result.

Anybody else been able to run bt.speedtest lately?

Cheers,
Peter

The page opens for me in Opera browser, but.............the page is a blank white sheet....nothing on it at all... :(

Just tried in IE....same result except for a thick black band across the top of the page.

I just tried it in Firefox and the browser locked up. There's obviously something wrong with the site at present.

It's OK from THCN Cranleigh via

"PPP CHAP Receive challenge (rhost = ERX3.Reading2)"

Kind regards,
