BT Wholesale Speed Test

[#1]

...Currently seems not to be working. Website is there but push 'Go' and tests do not start.

BTW Performance Tester (btwholesale.com)

[#2]

Try this one https://www.speedtest.btwholesale.com/ 

Edit, no that is the same!

[#3]

OK. They have got it going again! 😊

[#4]

Up and down like a bloody Yo-yo! Now you see it, now you don't. Plus the "Further Diagnostics" never work whether I use phone number or BBEU.

[#5]

My ISP told me BTw Further Diagnostics never work anymore as BTw given up on it. Because there is no need for that anymore as more and more FTTP won't need it. Strange decision by BTw.

I try test it for my parents line from Plusnet as BBEU never work. Access Line ID never work for SoGEA. BTw are useless!

[#6]

BT Speed Test - as accessed via the Plusnet Hub 2 router - is not working again.

This is the basic speed test. The additional diagnostic tests have not worked at all for many months now.

[#7]

Here what my ISP say to me:

Hi Phil,

We don't recommend the BTW speed test anymore as we transition into full fibre. The BTW tester has not worked correctly for literally years.

Please use https://www.speedtest.net/

Kind Regards,

[#8]

It does rather look as if the BT Speed Test has finally died a death.

[#9]

I've not used it for a long while - tend to use either: https://www.speedtest.net/ or https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest , both of which are fairly consistent.

It remains the default Speed Test accessed via the Plusnet Hub 2 router firmware.

Nice of the BT Group to let everyone know, but to be expected from that lot.

Does still work though - it certainly doesn't on my Zen connection?

Plusnet Hub 2 router firmware.

Pointless to log in router for the speed test! Not many peoples can't be bother to logged into 192.168.1.254 with username and password.

[#15]

@goldenfibre I didn't know that was an 'option' - I've never used the Hub2 as I moved from ADSL using a TG582N router with PN to another ISP for FTTC, using a Fritz!Box.

I agree it is pointless logging into the Hub for a speed test, in fact I would never think of it - I have always, for the ~30 years I've had the internet, used a direct link to a dedicated test site.
