BT Speed checker problem

Hi there

I'm trying to do some tests on the new BT Speed checker but everytime I try to use it nothing happens. Is there a problem with it or just some knack into gettting it to work properly. Basically after I put my phone number in and press Go, nothing happens for a very long time.

Kind Regards

Michael

it can take a long time and often fails. Try it early in the morning, like 6 am.

Best set my alarm then, glad I'm on holiday this week Hopefully using this I can get to the bottom as to why my speeds have halved when I migrated from Nildram to UKFSN

Same sync speed but half the throughput using ADSLguide speedtest ?

Yep, syncing at 3744000 down and 448000 up which should give me roughly 350KBps downloads. However I can only seem to download at about 150-175KBps either during the day or early hours of the morning. Upload speeds are also dreadful as well, just ran another ADSLGuide Speed Test and this is what I'm getting which is pretty much all the time:

Downstream 1,101.1 Kbps ( = 1.1 Mbps )
Upstream 105.6 Kbps ( = 0.1 Mbps )

When I was on Nildram I was getting much faster speeds than this, for reference here are my router stats:

Router Make / Model - Draytek Vigor 2800

Loop Att. - 34.0
SNR Margin - 20.0 (usually drops to 17.5 on a night)
Up Speed - 448000
Down Speed - 3744000

I'm using an Entanet reseller (UKFSN) and from reading the Entanet forum they seem to be have load balancing issues with their pipes, could this be a factor as to why my speeds have literally halved since moving from Nildram?

Also, when I run the BT Broadband checker to see what speed my line should be giving it reckons I can only get 512kbps, yet about 2 weeks ago it was saying that my line can do 2Mb and upto 8Mb for MAX ADSL. I moved onto MAX whilst I was with Nildram and prior to that I had a rock solid 2Mb connection anyway. I've emailed Mr Saffron my router stats to see if he can get BT to remedy this for me.

Sorry for the length of the post
