Is there any way to keep the Speed Meter schedule running when the internet fails?

I'm trying to prove to my ISP that I am having problems, but when a speed test fails overnight, the testing stops after showing this message: "Last speed test was unsuccessful. Do you want to try again?"

Thanks

The solution is not to leave the Speed Meter window open overnight. In this case the tests will continue to run in the background, and if the window is not open, no messages will be displayed.

Thanks Andrew, hardy 'intuitive':-) but I'll give that a try.
Much better if it just said 'connection failed' or something in the Speed Meter results window and tried again at the next scheduled test time.
I assume that's not the case for Connection Monitor - it correctly showed the 'outage' at ~7.30am.
Just one of those niggles - like the panels not remembering it's desktop position when closed/opened.....
Ho hum....(tu)
