Re: Only BT Wholesale speed test says 75meg

I'm getting exactly the same issue. No other website or speed test site lets me download at anything above 32Mbit but the wholesale site says 70+Mbit. I've spent hours on the phone to BT today and they have no clue what the issue is. I've had my service less than a week (but more than the 3 day sync time), and for failing to provide my service they want me to pay £300+ cancellation charges.
This is besides the fact they messed up my order in the first place delivered the wrong Home hub, then lied and said they'd ordered the correct one which never turned up and when I chased was told it was never ordered.
As far as they are concerned because their website says it's the right speed then it's not their issue.

Run this speed tester then the further diagnostics and post all the reults including your IP profile for up and down.

  • What is your fastest BT Wholesale Speed Test resul...

    Hi,
    Aplogies to the CL's if this is not the right forum but it definitely is speed related related.  I tossed up where to post it but decided on here fuguring you will soon move it if you want to.
    As the title suggests, and for a bit of fun, what is the fastest result you have got from the new BT Wholesale Speed Test ?
    I'll kick off with this :-

    Hi Keith,
    I typed a long response but have lost it now ???
    Right, I'll type it all again.  You are right I am on ADSL as is the whole village.  This result was obtained from the village school.
    As you know, every speed test I have run on the "new" speed tester has returned a download speed in excess of my IP Profile and at times in excess of my downstream speed. 
    Under the County Councils cost saving, performance enhancing project the school has just had its wireless link replaced with 16 bonded copper pairs.  This was projected to provide the school with 8Mbps, 2Mbps below all the other 250 odd in the county.  I therefore asked the school to run a speed test to find out what it is actually getting and this was the result.
    I thought it would provide a little light relief from what can be a very serious forum.
    As I said in my OP I was unsure where to post it but I never expected you to move it ti Infinity, I thought it might be The Lounge.  Neith of these are visited so frequently as the Speed/connection forum though.

  • Speed tests say 6-7Mbps, but can't stream video

    I have a brand new BT Home Hub 3, connected to the main socket, through an i-plate and I am on the Option 3 upto 20Mb broadband package.
    When I run a speed test I typically get 6-7Mbps which whilst rubbish compared to the 'upto 20Mbps' I am paying for should be sufficient. However sometimes if I try to watch BBC i-player on maximum resolution through my PS3 it stops and loads every few seconds. I know streaming high resolution video is fairly demanding, but not that demanding, I am not doing anything else at the same time so I think 6-7Mbps should be plenty. This only happens sometimes, but if I am trying to watch a film around 08:00pm on a 'school night' it happens more often than not.
    If I drop the resolution it normally settles down, so I guess I am right on the edge of what it can handle, and I have a sort of 'work around'. But I am paying for the top level of broadband BT offer (they haven't put fibre optic in my exchange yet) and have the top level of kit BT supply, and I am not asking for the moon on a stick, just BBC i-player on top resolution.
    I am normally connecting the PS3 wirelessly but I always have 100% wireless signal when I check on the PS3, the Hub and PS3 are less than 3m apart, in the same room, with nothing between them and no kit that could be causing interference (except for the Plasma TV near the PS3, but it wouldn't be much use if it wasn't connected to a TV!) and a couple of times I have had the same problem when I have connected them through an ethernet cable to check. I have seen a few bits of guidance saying try a differnt channel, but I think the Hub 3 does this for you automatically.
    I think sometimes when you stream video it takes a few seconds for BT to realise that you need more bandwidth and open your pipe up a bit - I am used to the video pausing and buffering a few times in the first minute then settling down - but this can go on for a whole hour.
    Please could someone step me through the diagnostics I should do as a first step. I don't know much about routers but I am prepared to go in a play with settings if someone who knows what they are doing will hold my virtual hand.

  • BT Wholesale Speed Test not Working?

    Anybody else having problems getting this to run properly?
    Will display down and up speeds but won't run the diagnostics.

    For most people it will work again after trying a few times. For some people it won't work for weeks at a time, however.

  • Internet speed test slow on MacBook Pro

    I just moved into a new house and signed up for internet service with 100 mbps download speed. Sounds great! Except my newish (refurb purchased in Aug 14) MacBook Pro is only running a speed test with results between 2.92 mbps - 7.89 mbps. We've checked it against my husband's work computer which is an HP zBook which is getting results over 60 mbps. He also plugged in his computer directly to the modem and got 125 mbps!! His computer is lightning fast. Pages are loading in the blink of an eye. My MacBook is sluggish and taking a much longer time to load.
    So, it's not our internet service. The problem is definitely with my MacBook Pro. It's even slower than my iPad. I've tried googling but I can't find anything about it and not sure where to start with fixing it. I'm not sure what specs I should include but my computer was advertised as having "the latest 802.11ac Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology".
    Any suggestions?

    802ac is the wireless WiFi.      WiFi issues may exist if you use 802.11g or 802.11b.   G is only 33 Mbps.   B is only 11 Mbps and is insecure.
    MacBooks with a CoreDuo and or CoreSolo only supported 802.11g.  You needed a Core2Duo to support 802.11n.    If you have a Core2Duo Mac, make sure the 8011n patch was applied to it.   Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info or System Information to determine what sort of WiFi is your connection.
    Note internet speed tests are not very reliable.  And Mac OS X 10.6.7, if that's what you have is not able to run the latest Java, so its results could be skewed by the lack of the latest Java support.    It doesn't mean you can't get the speed though.   See this article about internet speed:

  • Only getting 20Mb, but BT beta speed check says 35...

    I've had infinity installed for around a week now.
    The trouble is, I only ever seem to get 20Mb.  I've run numerous speed tests on other sites, and all say almost exactly 20Mb.  Uncanningly exactly 20Mb, infact.  My profile is 38Mb, so no trouble there.
    I've called BT and they pointed me to the BT beta speed tester, and that showed 35Mb.  They decided that the line was therefore ok.  This BT beta speed tester would appear to lie though, because I've tried http downloads, which maxed out at 20Mb, and numerous other speed tests, which all max out at exactly 20Mb.
    Also, the other BT speed tester that tells you the profile you are on also only ever maxes out at 20Mb.
    I mentioned all of the above to BT on the phone but they were adamant that because the BT beta speed tester said 35Mb, everything was ok.
    I have confirmed this plugged directly into the modem, so it's not a homehub issue at all.
    Can anybody offer any insight as to what may be going on?!
    Many thanks.

    Be greatful I was told I'd get 22mb, I get 11. BT have told me there's nothing they can do so I'll have to live with it. Shocking service

  • FIOS 150/150 but only showing 95/95 on Verizon Speed Test

    Some context - have been on the 150 plan for about 6 months since dumping TV and Phone Service. I originally had the Quantum gateway router but was dissatisfied with the wireless coverage.Purchased a Netgear R7000 about 5 months ago and used it as an Access Point with the Quantum Gateway as the Router. Getting 150 up and down no problem.Switched out the Quantum router and used the Netgear R7000 as my only router and access point about 4 months ago. Was still getting 150 up and down. Returned the Quantum gateway to Verizon. At the beginning of this week, started upgrading some of the family PCs to Windows 10. After upgrade, realised that the Internet was slow. Measured using Verizon Speed Test, all of the PCs were showing 95/95 consistently. Tried it with my Macbook pro and was the same so not a Windows 10 issue. Rebooted router, no difference. Reset router to factory settings - no difference. Updated router firmware - no difference. Got in touch with Verizon support - they tested the connection, reset it and confirmed that I am still provisioned for 150/150.. Ordered a new Quantum Gateway to check that there is not a router issue (dubious on this) and will try it when it arrives. Has anyone had a similar experience or can anyone offer advice on troubleshooting this?

    This is just a shot in the dark but when you were running the speed test(s) on your Mac, did you have any Windows 10 machines shut down? If not, and if you haven't disabled Windows 10's default bandwidth sharing setting, you might be experiencing bandwidth usage as explained in this article: http://www.computerworld.com/article/2955288/microsoft-windows/windows-10-commandeers-users-upload-bandwidth.html

  • Hello, i just installed a vertex 2e 90gb ssd in my macbook pro 13" (8.1 early 2011). But when i do a disk speed test i only get 125 mb/s write speed and 146 mb/s read speed.

    Hello, i just installed a vertex 2e 90gb ssd in my macbook pro 13" (8.1 early 2011). But when i do a disk speed test i only get 125 mb/s write speed and 146 mb/s read speed. Thats under 50% of what i should get. The disk have firmware 1.35 and 3 gb/s linkspeed when i check in systemreport.
    Anyone know why i get so low speed from my ssd?

    Speak to the manufacturer. They did the bench tests.

  • Flash Player only partially opens my ISP's speed test

    I am having trouble with line speed and download speed. My ISP has directed me to their speed test, which has to be done several times and submitted before they will investigate.
    I have tried to use the test several times on my networked pc and the flash player plugin will not complete the download of information.
    I have reinstalled Adobe flash player several times with no change.
    I have temporarily disabled my firewall with no change.
    I can use the speed test on a netbook connected by wireless to the same network

    The videos that DO work are most likely HTML5 which requires no plugin.
    Spotlight search "Flash Player.plugin" and trash EVERYTHING in the results.
    Go to: [user]/Library/Preferences (Hold the "Option" key when you click "Go" from the Finder menu to access this folder)
    Trash the com.macromedia.Flash Player.app.plist file.
    Trash the Macromedia folder from there as well (the WHOLE folder).
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Trash the Flash Player folder and the Flash Player Install Manager folder.
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/ Internet Plugins.
    Trash the flashplayer.xpt file.
    Empty the trash.
    Download the offline installer: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac /install_flash_player_11_osx.dmg  and run it.
    If after all that, it still doesn't work, we'll need to look at other plugins you have that may be causing a conflict.
    I have Safari, Firefox, Opera and Chrome, as well as a few "off brand" browsers and Flash Player works in all of them. Late 2012 Mini, Core15, 16Gb RAM.

  • BT says 5 Mb/s, speed tests 0.32 Mbs

    My Broadband speed has been suspect for a long time and my wife is in dispair; this weekend it was all but unusable even for basic web browsing.  I have followed all the BT guidance and with my MacBook connected by ethernet to my Home Hub 2.0 with wireless turned off (and using the master BT socket with filter) I seem to get a vastly different speed than the BT speed test indicates (5 vs 0.320 Mb/s).  I accept that there may be a drop off at busy times but 0.32 seems extreme.  Should I replace the Home Hub with a non BT variant or is there something else I can try first.
    Current stats from the router:
    Any help very gratefully received.

    My IP Profile is remaining at 0.35, surely I should have seen some increase after 3 days?  I have a BT Engineering calling on Wednesday to investigate a fault I had with the phone line last week; is there anything I should be directing him to look at?

  • Difference between Transceive​r Statistics vs. Speed tests

    We had been having problems with our DSL speed today.  We discovered (obviously) that most of the problem was that my son was watching Netflix on our TV (through an app directly on the tv, not through a game console), which was sucking up most of our bandwidth.
    But, while testing things out, we checked our Transceiver Statistics.  We are getting about 3300 mbps download, but after running two different speed tests (speedtest.net and bandwidthplace.net), it seems we only ever really get about 1.5 - 1.6 mbps.  This was after turning off the Netflix stream, by the way.  This is basically our normal speed.
    At any one time, we have 2 laptops and 2 Android phones connected to our network through a Beklin wireless router, as well as a desktop connected to the Belkin router through an ethernet cable.  The tests have been consisten regardless of the number of computers running at the time, as long as they aren't doing anything with a real network load.
    I don't think it's a problem with the router, because we can copy files between the computers at about 4 megabytes per second (36 megabits per second).  Althought the WiFi connection says it's running at about 130 megabits per second.  Maybe that's an issue with disk speed, I don't know...
    Anyway, is there anything weird going on, or is it a symptom of outside network load that our speed tests are roughly half the value we see on the Transceiver Statistics for the modem?
    Here is the full details from our Westell modem Transciver Statistics:
    Transceiver Revision: 7.1.254

    The transceiver stats only measure the speed of the connection between your DSL Modem/Router and the Central Office Equipment. You can get the full 3mbs downlink speed with losses a lot higher than 42db   I have seen it above 60db and still providing 3mbps.
    However the link between your modem and the Central office is only small part of the total path between your computer and whatever internet site you are connecting too. Speed tests measure end to end, as opposed to only a small part of the message path. As a result speed tests almost always show lower performance than transceiver stats.
    The best analogy is Verizon effectively only provides the on and off ramps to the Internet Superhighway. Just because the local  ramp is clear is no assurance there aren't traffic jams elsewhere on the highway. The problem with most speed tests is you have no idea how your traffic was actually routed, and what constraints may be placed on it by parts of the network that Verizon has no control over.
    The transceiver stats represent the best possible case. The reality is there is no shortage of issues upstream from the central office, either on, or off the Verizon network that can restrict your actual speed to considerably less than 3mbps. It is unlikely that your wiring inside the house is an issue, if it was, you would be seeing a downlink speed at less than 3mbps.
    However your uplink speed seems slow. The nominal uplink for the 3mbps tier of DSL service is 768kbps, not 512kbps.

  • Speed testing proceed with caution??

    I've been fascinated by the various reports of variable speeds being seen on  various different speed testing sites, so I've been having a play, and the results have been, shall we say, interesting.
    Let's start at the top. No matter which machine I access it from, http://www.speedtester.bt.com/ shows me 56megs down and 12.89 up, with a max achievable of 60.1/20.
    Namesco's  ( http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/ ) shows 33623/14734 on my "work" partition, but if I reboot into another partition which is set up for webcasting, it, too reports the full 56megs down and 14/15 up. Same connection, same wires, barely five minutes apart on Mac OS X 10.7.3 in both partitions.
    If I then, boot back into the work partition, and bring up Speedtest.net not only on there, but also on a couple of other machines, and set them all to check simultaneously, the combined total of the download speeds is - guess... yup, 56megs down and around 14 up.
    Aside from quite fancying my connection giving me that full 20megs up (OK, I know, it'll be 19 or so), I'm really quite happy with this - and it does point out that, in all likelihood, severely fluctuating speed tests may not necessarily be line-related. If I wasn't able to reproduce all of this more or less at will, I may have thought differently, but it's an entirely repeatable excercise.

    Yes indeed, none of the speedtests are reliably accurate all the time as their servers and routes to the server are subject to varying conditions. Speedtest.net is very dependent on which server you select, as their automatic server selection chooses based on ping results, which does not always give you a server with the fastest data rates (my results vary from 35 to 70Mbps, or as low as 2Mbps if you go out as far as New Zealand ). BT's main http://speedtester.bt.com/ (diagnostics) is up the pole for most of the day and is only any use for finding out your profile. However, their beta test is pretty good and is always worth trying: http://speedtester.bt.com/beta/speedtest-remote.jsp
    BBMax is often said to be the best one but that could just be because it uses a much smaller download file and the test lasts for a shorter period of time. That means there is less scope for varying line and server conditions to intervene, and for Internet Security programs to slow things down.
    So what I do is:
    a) Turn off my Internet Security program (this can be very important)
    b) find the fastest speedtest.net server and use that result
    c) use BT beta speedtest (as I already know my profile)
    d) check BBMax
    The results of these three methods are nearly always between 69.x Mbps and 71.x Mbps, my profile is 72.8 Mbps. I don't think you'll ever get your 19Mbps upload by the way as I am on a 20Mbps cap but the fastest upload speed I've seen is 16.x binary Mbps and 17.x decimal Mbps.

  • Reliability of broadband speed tests

    I had BT Infinity installed yesterday.  It is only 24 hys I know but I hve been running speed tests on a regular basis to see what download speeds I am getting.  Before signing up to Infinity I was told by bT I 'should' get around 27MB based on my tel/ line.  I have been using the uswitch speed test and that has been reporting between 2MB and 13MB.  The average over the past 24hrs has been around 6-7MB ie far, far short of the 27MB I expected!  What is worrying is that looking through the forums it appears taht a lot of people find their speed DECREASES after settling in rather than increase which doesn't promise well for the future!  What is confusing is that whilst the uswitch test regulraly reports on average 6-7MB when I tried BT's own broadband spped tester it said i had a download speed of around 24MB which was within 'acceptable limits'.  This test was done immediately after a uswitch test that said I got a download speed of 8MB!  Who is right and can I trust any of these readings?  The Infinity guide says to wait for 10 days before reporting any perceived problem with speed but if there is a problem with my setup that is hindering better download speeds I'd want it sorted asap!
    PS Just down a test using speedtest.net that said my speed was 17MB this was immediately after uswitch test that said 10MB .  Even more unsure now about which speed test to trust!

    Hi there,
    Most people use www.speedtest.net as their preferred speedtest site.
    You can also try www.thinkbroadband.com for another accurate speedtest.
    The thing with some other speedtest sites is that they sometimes don't have the capability to test faster connections, such as infinity, because their site has very limited bandwidth, or a poor implimentation of a java, or even a combination of both.
    Also, I would wait for the 10 day period to pass, prior to attempting to log a fault with BT, as this is purely a training period and BT aren't likely to be able to do anything regarding a fault in this time period.
    I hope this info helps.

  • Internet Speed Test

    I've got a E4200 and when running the internet speed test from the Cisco Connect software the download works fine and then it immediately fails on the upload test. Happens on various other internet speed test sites as well. However does work on speedtest.net.

    Try the following steps:
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
    1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
    2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
    3] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
    For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
    For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

  • Bt speedy test says 74meg at modem 30-45meg at com...

    Hi,
    As title my speed to modem is at 75meg yet my computer/s show speed test of 35-45meg. I used to get the 75meg at computer. Today I changed the router and have a computer wires direct to router (not by switch) yet get same results.
    Funny thing is without changing anything another day I will get 70-75 meg at computer. How come I'm loosing so much speed between modem and router/ computer?
    I have tried this on 3 different computers as well.

    Hi,
    Sorry I meant computer wired so yes using a cat 5e cable.
    Being that on occasions I get 75meg at the computer I can't see how the cable can be at fault also I don't have any viruses just did a clean install on a system to check.
    Also this morning when running the bt speed check its no longer telling me what speed I have to the modem only that its ok. Then I'm getting the 35meg to the computer shown.
    Something's weird here.
