Had another Member here who had an issue with just the national lottery website .. Strange thing was he could log into the uk one but not the Com .. Could not find a fix for that either .. But yours could be different we do not give up to easy .. Just not long home and still thinking ..
Hi,
Have you made a new administrator user account to test with ?
I'll have to review the other two links :/
That is rather important to know.
This is important to know too. If you and your brother use the same network to connect to the internet, then you can rule out an IP ban. Google could not find any reference to speedtest ever banning anyone. I doubt that they would bother with IP bans.
OK, so you are getting a connection timeout. That probably means that your HOSTS file is not blocking the website... but let's check anyway. What happens when you ping these URLs in a cmd window:
Code:ping speedtest.netThis is what I see:Code:ping www.speedtest.net
This is what you might see if a website is blocked via the host file:
But, Chrome should look like this...
...if the website is blocked.
Your "connection timeout" message indicates that you are making some connection (e.g. not blocked), but you are unable to get all of the webpage in a timely manner.
Also - just as a test - please consider uninstalling AVAST.
You can re-install it right after testing your ability to get to the speedtest website.
Here are my results for what you have shown me; i have also added these to the main post.That is rather important to know.

Thanks for testing and for the screenshots.
As you see, www speedtest com does not resolve to the same server IP address for every user. This is a normal part of load balancing for websites that get a lot of traffic... but it also means that posts like "It works for me" won't tell you much.
In other words...
www speedtest net resolved to cs62 adn edgecastcdn net
which resolves to 72.21.92.82 in my area.
For you, the final IP was 93.184.219.82
So, it does no good for me to post "its up for me".
Not that any of this helps you get to the website. I'm just rambling.
As crazy as it sounds, if you are using Wi-Fi, try a LAN cable.
Also, have you been doing any MTU tuning? (Don't do that.)
...and what DNS servers are you using?
See step 6 here:

Yes i have attached it. Im using google's atm 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4 If i use my BTs own when i use the option "obtain ipaddress automatically" it only shows one DNS and no secondary in the "ipconfig" Im sure there should be "two" DNS.
