Hi 'maria92',  and welcome to the forum  Smiley
Try reading through these guides - Connection troubleshooting - Plusnet Fibre and Speed troubleshooting - Plusnet Fibre
but to be honest, if I were you, I would follow the Plusnet Brooadband Troubleshooter,  as this will collect all the information the fault investigation engineers require before they can help you - when they return to work on Tuesday.
Now you are on the forum, keep asking questions as there is always someone that will make a helpful suggestion  Wink

You MUST get that noise fixed BEFORE trying to resolve broadband related problems !.
Is your PHONE service with Plusnet or another provider ?
You need to contact your phone service provider and report a noisy line, BUT if your phone service is NOT with Plusnet then don't mention that it is causing a broadband problem - as it is common for the phone provider to suddenly become uninterested in fixing the fault and blame your broadband provider (and vice-versa).

Hello, my phone provider is plus net, and have used the broadband troubleshooter, hopefully when they are back this problem will be fixed,

Perhaps you should also login to your account and Report a Telephone Fault, and answer the questions on that page.

Speaking from experience, until your phone line is completely clear (in all weathers), there's no point trying anything else.
I had 72mb+ for 2 years, until 5 weeks ago when my phone line started to crackle, now the line won't even stay up reliably, especially when its wet and windy.
