I've just spoken to the Directors Office and they told me "we don't accept speedtest.net results from any servers, apart from 'BT Lanc Services', our own servers are broken, and we can't guarantee the speed or accuracy of any other speedtest.net servers".
Curiously a traceroute to ookla.btlancashire.co.uk shows the route hops into Janet almost immediately, thus bypassing their shonky network.
Mine went [censored] in November and they just keep trotting out the line "you are syncing above the min speed, there is nothing wrong".
If I want to leave before 1st Sept, then I have to pay my early termination charges....
My fast.com results are shockingly rubbish, around 1-2Mbps, which is significantly worse than other tests.
