BT Wholesale Speed Test Domain


BTw offer a Speedtest that will bypass your ISP and test your line direct with BT's servers.
~ Please note this test only works if you are on IPStream and it does not work with DataStream products or LLU ISPs

To access the service you will need to disconnect from your ISP* and log in to BT by using the following connection details::-

USER: speedtest@speedtest_domain
PASS: testing

The above information should be put into your router login details or if you have a modem you should change the dialup username. Its wise to make a note of your ISP login before changing it.

Once successfully logged in, you will can access the Speed Tester server by typing http://217.32.105.42 in your browser.

To initiate a test, you must type in your phone number in the available prompt box and press ‘Go’. (This is used to identify your test and allow BT to investigate any faults)

The Speed Tester will then download a temporary file to your PC and the actual throughput of the download will be measured.

Once the test is complete you will be presented with the result screen.
