Recent slow down (especially upload speed)

Hello
I have been with Plusnet for around a year now, on the unlimited service with the pro add on. Recently the speed has been getting slower, making any form of gaming pretty much non existent, the pure download speed (ie for netflix) remains fine, but the upload seems to have slowed down. The BT wholesale site claims that 1-1.3Mb upload should be possible in which case the 0.3Mb found is low? Does the result below indicate some capping of the line?
Here are my DSL connection stats
Link Information
Uptime: 1 day, 1:21:33
DSL Type: ITU-T G.992.5
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 444 / 10.700
Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [MB/GB]: 283,72 / 1,99
The results of the BT speedtest are as follows:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 8.09 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 4 Mbps-21 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 9.44 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.32Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 0.45 Mbps
Current line test
Phone exchange:
POPLAR
Estimated line speed:
12Mb (This may vary between 7Mb and 17Mb) - Checked on 2014-07-07 14:05:26
Current line speed:
9.4 Mb
Another speed test

Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated!

Hi jknova,
I've just placed an order for your upload speeds to be uncapped, this should take place overnight tonight for you. Let us know if you continue to have problems following this.

Re: Recent slow down (especially upload speed)

If you run a Speed Test at around 9am onwards, you should see the difference Smiley

Re: Recent slow down (especially upload speed)

What are your router stats like (attenuation, SNRM)?

Re: Recent slow down (especially upload speed)

I am at work at the moment, but can get this this evening, how would you suggest getting them?
Do you expect the numbers above should improve further? Given the upload has nearly trebled (which I am very happy to see) I was not expecting much more improvement without going to fibre (which I cannot get yet) ?
