sending speedtest result

catford

My isp-not so "supa"net want me to do the b/t speedtest and send them the results.
How and where do I keep the results so I can email them when ready?

Depends what you're using to test the speed. I tend to use www.speedtest.net which you can download the results in CSV format, which I suppose you could just email as an attachment.

They want me to run 3 tests using this one--http://speedtester.bt.com--but there's no way to save/store or send the results.;)

One way I can think of is to take a snapshot of the screen. Get the results on screen and press the "Prt Scr" key. Then open up something like word and "paste" the image.

Can't test mine either, phone line isn't with BT :rolleyes: . I would test with www.speedtest.net anyway and see if there's a difference. From what I've heard BT's own test isn't all that trustworthy/accurate.

If you get a good speed test when using the BT speed tester, that would prove that the ISP is at fault.

:cool:

True, depends on the context of what you're trying to prove. I personally wouldn't rely just on BT's results though.

Some ADSL ISP's insist that you perform this BT speedtest before they will investigate speed problems any further. e.g. it tests the first link in the chain, without involving any ISP pipes etc.

Have you tried the method I suggested? Not elegant but it should do the job.
