Re: Fastest Speedtest Site

If the IP Profile doesn't work, there is a way of getting the sync speed from the ONT. But it is a bit of a fiddle.

Which ISP is this btw?

A&A is the ISP (both a previous post and the speed test show this wink)

Sorry, I should pay more attention.

I would speak to A&A as they should be able to shed more light. They might have put the OP on a 110Mbps profile their end.

Hopefully they can but unusually for A&A they seem to have problems finding the issue going by this:

My ISP (Andrews & Arnold) have been really, really helpful throughout the whole order process and very kindly lent me a firebrick router so I could confirm it is not my router. They have also confirmed they have not capped the speed on my line

A&A have been incredibly helpful. They have confirmed they haven't capped the speed. They have logged a fault with BT - we'll see how BT respond...

I'll see if I can get any more information from the BT wholesale speedtest site (I have also tried the speedtest there before but I'll see if it says anything else)

In reply to a post by MrSaffron:
Based on the shape of the download I would say it is not a hardware/software problem under your control, but someone in the Openreach or BT Wholesale departments has added a 110 Mbps product cap to the downloads

Never seen anyone try it, but what does http://speedtest.btwholesale.com show for the IP Profile setting


In am not sure how to see the IP Profile setting on the BT Wholesale speedtester but I tried further diagnostics and it didn't recognise my address so I have asked A&A for my broadband circuit ID to see if this provides any useful information.

I wonder if it's through TalkTalk Business?

AIUI the BTW speedtest runs on LLU now, but all the Further Diagnostics do is pull up the IP Profile - which TT Business wouldn't have.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk. Domains,site and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 53.4 (interleaved)/15.6Mbps @ 600m. - IPv4BQM IPv6BQM

I don't think FTTPoD can work through Talk Talk Business but others will know better than me. I think it is probably a quirk of FTTPoD that the further diagnostics doesn't work with my address - I'll try again when I have the broadband circuit ID

In reply to a post by bdo21:
Before I post my FTTPoD experience, I am trying to resolve a speed issue. Can anyone confirm whether the thinkbroadband and/or BT Wholesale speed tests can do very fast speeds (above 100mbps). The thinkbroadband graphic tops out at 100mbps and the chart shows me results a bit above is but marginal.

Thank you


Not sure if you still need the info but the TBB speedtest seems to be capable of 600Mbps+.

Here is a test inside a VM on a dedicated server, based on a 1Gbps connection in France:

BT: http://imgur.com/SeYo09d


Ignore the upload speed on the BT test; it's a fault with the stupid Virtual Box software the VM is running in.

Looks like the TBB test is more capable than the BT test looking at that.

I agree.

Not sure that having the circuit identifier, the OGEA reference, will be of any use either, I don't think the BT Wholesale tester is set up to intake that either.

Can you press A&A for an SFVA visit from Openreach ?
