When I started testing, I got both BT and TBB speedtest to work, no probs. Now TBB just hangs,
[IMG] http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p145/wakou/Sept/T...[/IMG]
BT speedtest gives horrible results, ie 5 megs when I should be at least 15-20 according to TBB flash and speedtest.net, it (BT) wants me to try another stage of testing, which I cannot do as I have an always on connection (?)
TBB flash works but is sometimes erratic and spikey.
I have java up to date, verified on Sun's page.
I am using openSuse Linux.

The TBB tester has never worked for me from my work and I've never been able to work out why. Every other tester works fine as do any and all web pages I access. I'm guessing it's one or more of our IT network policies but quite why it singles out TBB's tester and nothing else puzzles me.

What connection do you have? ADSL2+ or an FTTC/VDSL?
I see from the image that you are trying to use Port80 - does the same happen if you allow do not select Port80?
Up until I changed from ADSL2+ to FTTC the TBB speedtester worked on both port options but now I get the same result with Port80. BT have confirmed and proved to me that Port80 is not blocked so it is a mystery to me.

Port 80 may not be blocked, but possibly a proxy is not handling our port 80 speed test traffic very well.

Where will the proxy be? In the BT network? at your end?
If the OP is on FTTC it will be another on to add - I have found a couple of others who have the same problem.

In the BT network. why would we run a proxy?

And BT say the same. But if the OP is seeing the same as I do, then it is more evidence to back to BT with about various niggly little problems than are occurring with Infinity installations. Port 80, pages not completing (appear fully loaded but the tab icon stays as the loading wheel), occasionally stalling completely.

I am on FTTC/VDSL using a HomeHub2, the problem with the TBB hanging/freezing occurs when I check the port 80 box as well

What happens if you do NOT select port 80?
and with Port 80 selected, when you click on stop - does it grey out? Does it then return the Start button or not?

Hi, it seems to behave the same with port 80 checked/unchecked, ie.
Click start, goes to "performing quick download test" and then freezes.
"STOP" button is greyed out, but active if clicked.
It does not return to a "START" button in either case.

Same as I get on Port80 - it works fine without that selection though.

wakou222,
I have a similar problem with the tbb speed tester and Ubuntu/Firefox: it gets to 5% then freezes, however if I refresh the page and start it again then the test completes fully - maybe it's a Java issue?

I am connected wireless from my linux PC I do not expect the throughput to be anywhere near optimal, I just wonder why it does not work at all.

It might be worth seeing if your get the same effect wired though?

Interesting, but it does not work for me. If I refresh and restart I get an error,

Hmm... I would have to lug the box downstairs, and lash it up there. A "one of these days" type project.

I also had a problem with the tbb speed tester the other day on a Win7 machine running the new IE9 RC browser - had to set the page to Compatibility View otherwise IE9 would throw up an error if the page was refreshed - might not be relevant but there do seem to be issues with the tbb speed tester...

Mr S make a suggestion that it could be a BT problem - whilst not 100% sure there is evidence pointing that way. I have seen it a few times on FTTC connections but never on an ADSL connection.
