Yup and I am still getting the 1.8Gbps which is great lol.
So nothing was fixed then while it was down.
Ah well.

Happy to licence a copy of our tester, likely to be a lot cheaper than trying to fix their own code.

Still the usual ADSL slow speeds here, this time it's 2.22Mbps with an IP profile of 2.5Mbps can sometimes get an IP profile of 3.0Mbps when the connection feels like it

Well BTW Speed Tester / Performance Checker isn't a good way to check your speed.
Paul
Maybe so but it is the only tester the ISP will accept for evidence so they can pass it onto OR!

This is sadly true 
So where it shows a way over the top speeds of 1.8 Gbps (especially for my FTTP connection) if I had a speed drop from max speed down to say lower than the 100 Mbps (i.e. the Minimum Speed) and BT asks me to try this checker I will be saying NO due to its already is broken due to it says I don't even have FTTP, I wonder what BT will say lol.

It could be worse, they might ask you to use Internet Explorer when using the speed test (As it's one of the only browsers that it works on properly).

I've noticed doing the BTW test in Microsoft Edge browser gives me the true speed of my line (more or less) yet doing it in Chrome gives me skewed results.
Microsoft Edge 1
Microsoft Edge 2
Google Chrome
Hmmmmm......[rolls eyes]

It would be interesting to see if an old version of Chrome has the same issue. I know a lot of people who do live streaming have stopped using Chrome as it's got freezing issues lately.

Here is my connection tested in IE, Edge, FF, 2 versions of Chrome:
IE v11.461.16299.0
Edge v41.16299.461.0 (64bit)
FF v60.0.2 (64bit)
Chrome v67.0.3396.62 (64bit)
Chrome v67.0.3396.79 (64bit)
Just because the speed is way off with Chrome, doesn't mean it is a Chrome issue, its just a coincidence, it may well be a Chrome issue, but we cannot assume that until we have proof.
I say its the checker due to Speedtest.net shows my speeds correctly when using Chrome.
BT current response was the following:
Sorry about that, Paul. Please contact our FTTP repair team on 0800 800 151, they can check this further. ^Rita
