Unable to run test 3 on speedtester.bt.com

Hi all,

Wonder if anyone can help me. I have started to experience very slow speeds on my FTTC it has dropped from average of 35Mbps to 6Mbps. I have run the first tests on speedtester.bt.com which shows a speed issue and needs to run the 3rd test...this is where i get stuck.

i configure my connection to [email protected]_domain as requested and it connects fine at the router. Problem then is when i press the go button it times out and does not seem to resolve the address. i have tried this through my router and with a pc connected directly to the BT Modem.

Does anyone have any suggestions as my ISP says i need to run this first before they can report a fault

Just to add I have tried via ip address too and still times out without connecting so is not dns related

What does your ISP advise? Who's the ISP anyway?

Is your VDSL modem wall mounted ? If not, there's a good chance it is in it's death throes. Try turning the power off the to modem for half an hour to allow it cool properly. Then before turning it back on, wall mount it 100ml centers. There is a chance though that all this is in vain, and even once cooled off, your sync will be stuck at a lower rate.
