Just checked mine now. Download 1.8mb and upload .236

On the last set up on over over the last 12 months 1.3mb so there is some improvement.

Yup they've kept their word, my downloading speed today was at a very nice 300kb+/sec when I'm only paying for 2mb so yipee! I get the same download allowance of 20gb per month but I get 3mb speed which I'm delighted with

Can somebody please tell me if I'm using the speed test correctly - it just seems to sit there and do nothing
I have selected the ISP and the line speed and when I click the "Start Speed"

I had the same issue with Explorer. Downlkoaded the latest Java update and still no joy.
Downloaded and installed Firefox and it works first time. My speed is reporting @2.6 Mb download so not to bad.

It now works using Firefox - line speed of 1.8 was due to be upgraded to 3 over the weekend according to BT site but will give them a couple of days grace before I ask them.
Thanks for the Firefox tip.
