We're conducting a survey in the village. The results will be reported to our local MP who will highlight any issues with BT.
Please take the test below and send me an
email to let me know how fast your connection is and take the opportunity to tell me about any problems you have with your broadband connection.
Thank you

FAQ
What must be installed to use Broadband speed checker?
Speed checker should work in any web browser that supports Flash of version 8
and javascript.
Why the download or upload test does not work?
If you have a firewall or antivirus software installed that is not configured
properly, then speed checker may not work correctly. Try to disable the firewall
/ antivirus when you are running the speed checker. After the test has been
completed do not forget to turn it back on so you stay protected.
What does kbps mean?
It means kilobits per second. Usually, when you purchase a broadband then ISP
explains speed in Mb. 1 Mb has 1024 kilobits.
What might affect my speed test?
Any applications running on your PC can affect the speed, so you should disable
temporarily :
- email checking software
- instant messenger or other chat software
- internet radio
- windows updates
- any other downloading
How does the speed checker work?
The speed checker downloads a file from the server and measures how long
your connection takes to download it. The size of the file will be
different according to your line speed.
How accurate is the speed checker?
The speed checker has been built to be as accurate as possible but
there are several factors that can affect the test. The speed checker
measures the speed at the time of the test, so if your network is running
slowly at that time, then speed checker will report a slow speed. This does
not necessarily mean that your internet connection is slow at all the time.
How long it takes the speed checker to complete?
About 20 seconds.
