And you are posting on a site that has its own speed test

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest

The postcode is preferred but a second click will let you through smile


Thanks for letting us know about the postcode, could you fix it so it doesn't tell the truth as i find the end result where it doesn't show the burst as being the actual full speed depressing. grin

Just used speedtest.net in firefox with AdBlock Plus running and it worked fine here, showing my normal Infinity 2 broadband speeds even over 2.4GHz WiFi. Not sure about no script, never used it.

I just tested it on Edge and Chrome with the ad blocker built into my Security Suit and I see no banners / ads nothing and it works fine.

I can use both, Chrome runs the beta version and like I have already said I have no ads / banners showing up shown >> here << as you can see no ads / banners nothing.

With Adblock plus, in ff it will possibly depend on which lists you are using, and how it's configured

screen shot

Found the culprit, no script, was blocking the actual host (server) for each speedtest

Use No Script myself (latest version). As you have found out, it does depend on how you have both No Script and Adblock Plus set up. Speedtest Beta screen shot I get No ads, just the site itself.

What's it look like with the ads / banners on it on that site, I have never seen them on there.

Because it would end up being abused and visitor volume to police it would be an issue.
