Broadband dropped from 40Mb to 1Mb

Hi
I'm a fibre customer and have seen a massive drop over the last few days, have a ticket open with plusnet as well it's always good to ask around.
speed for the last few days has shown the below


I have used the bt speedtest as well twice so far and it shows roughly the same as below for both
Download speedachieved during the test was - 1.2 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 31.59 Mbps-39.49 Mbps .
Additional Information:
IP Profile for your line is - 39.49 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.01Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 20 Mbps
Am I missing something my end or does that look wrong? This was by ethernet connect by the way
Edit: also used multiple machines in the house to make sure it wasn't on the fritz but they all came back the same.

No Problems, Glad to see it resolved it  Wink
Also, by any chance did you know what gateway you was connected to prior to the hop?  Smiley

Unfortunately not, I do know I am not on ag04 now though and it is back to how it should be.

it's ptw-ag01 that's having problems. I've just gateway hopped and was on this gateway and was pulling 172kb/s  Shocked

I'm on Lymington, always see a raise in pings during peak hours. Not really a speed issue though, that i'm aware of anyhow  Smiley

I think we've replicated the issue on PTW-AG01.  We're looking at it.
