Have BT made another "enhancement" to their speed tester, after imposing the 'three hours between tests' feature? I tried it just now, and it no longer tells me my IP profile. Now I get output like:
The speed test has completed on test server test.speedtester.bt.com for user phone-number and you have downloaded a 1.7Mb file at a speed of
6292 kilo bits per second (Kbps), your service bandwidth will have been quoted to you in kilo bits per second.
Your IP address is IP-address, your browser is reported as being my-browser and is running on my-OS.
BT would regard the speed ranges shown below as normal service:
For 250kbps End Users speeds between 50 - 250kbps.
For 500kbps End Users speeds between 100 - 500kbps.
For 1000kbps End Users speeds between 200 - 1000kbps.
For 2000kbps End Users speeds between 400 - 2000kbps.
You may now disconnect from the speed test account (click 'disconnect' in your internet connection window) and if you wish to regain normal access to the internet please re-connect to your ISP using your usual username and password.
Please note that test results may vary according to varying traffic in the network. If you continue to experience slower throughput when logged in to your ISP, this may be due to a slow internet site or high traffic levels beyond the BT Wholesale Network. Please report this situation to your ISP's helpdesk.
