Can I actually check the Broadband speed possible to my property

Peculiar then as I've tried in Firefox rather than Chrome and neither gives any speeds and frequently just gives error messages such as invalid post code or telephone numbers. I've tried with my details and a family member who lives a few hundred miles away.

Tried in Chrome only, but ... Sam Knows site gives me an error if I use both my phone number and postcode; if I just use my phone number it gives results. (I also see ADSL2+ available but the max speed shown is 2 meg - clearly wrong. In the old days I used to get 8 meg on ADSLMax and easily 16 meg on ADSL2+).

Oddly, it stopped working for me too yesterday. I thought it might have been that I ran too many searches, so wasn't overly concerned. But it seems others have experienced the same thing.

I've tried it a good few times in the past (going back years) and could never understand why anyone recommended it as it seemed to give very little useful information. I didn't know that it's actually supposed to give estimated speeds.

I've just tried again using just telephone number or postcode rather than both and it doesn't make any difference.

On one of the rare & random times something pops up the only speeds shown are up to 2Mbps for ADSL (I can get 14Mbps here) and Virgin at up to 50Mbps (according to their website I can get the 350Mbps package).

This is the only speedchecker you need: http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/

Well at least I know what it's supposed to look like now

I've tried multiple times using various search options but can't get that at all. Shame as it looks really useful.

Speed checks are what you should get.

Some ISPs will bypass all the filtering, checking, deep packet inspection, 'management', logging, and may even re-route your signal to make sure that your speed check is superb
