Broadband speed absolutely dire

[#1]

What are your actual speeds like now?

[#2]

speed test result please - use this one it is quicker http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk/ - ignore the blurb about accuracy

No, this http://192.168.1.254/cgi/b/dsl/dt/?be=0&l0=2&l1=0 is what is needed please as per that provided last time (see post #2 in this merged thread).

will try again

Forget the BT test - the main use of that is to find your IP Profile and we know what that is.
Use the thinkbroadband test - that gives some far more useful information or the one Jim linked.

Jim did not link to the think broadband test (http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html?utm_source=mainsite&utm_medium=navigation&utm_campaign=speedtest&utm_content=sidebar), rather the PlusNET speed test, which I have just tried and does not appear to be working...  
Jelv,
Either I miss read your original post or you edited it quickly that it did not get marked as edited!

looks as if its cured, what do you think?

Hi,
Not cured at all, symptoms fixed yes, but cause not identified.
Can you please post your current router stats as requested above?

PN speed tester is working fine here

Quote from: Townman

Jelv, I like your thinking - PlusNET profile change without a PPP drop... Then that would be very similar to the previous scenario.  Under some unidentified condition the line is synching up with a very poor synch speed and cascading a low profile delta to PlusNET. If this action "fixes" the current symptoms, then the cause of intermittent slow synchs needs investigating. Kevin

Suspicions confirmed and I think we are all agreed on what needs to be done now.
(and yes it was a quick edit)

Hope this is it?

It's not cured, we've just fixed the symptoms. We need to find out why it is occasionally syncing at very slow speed - until that is addressed it's likely to keep happening.

Are you aware of anything happening Friday afternoon that might have affected your connection?

[#14]

The stats aren't too bad - EXCEPT
Your noise margin is too high which indicates that the automatic systems are seeing instability and this is probably the occasional very low sync events
Can I suggest installing Routerstats (I assume you have a Windows Computer) http://www.vwlowen.co.uk/internet/files.htm
Note to others - the reason why I say the stats aren't to bad is that they are better than mine. Note my line is just not very good
