Well for starters I get download speeds of up to 200kb max -had been getting that dl speed for quite some time now, I didn't bother to post since now.
Also I have been experiencing High latency on VENTRILO which is impossible to communicate in when gaming. This also affects my Ingame LOSS & CHOKE which gives me a huge disadvantage whilst gaming.
I've now upgraded my broadband to the Gaming Package which could help me with the problems.
SpeedTester:
BT would regard the speed ranges shown below as normal service:
For 250kbps End Users speeds between 50 - 250kbps.
For 500kbps End Users speeds between 100 - 500kbps.
For 1000kbps End Users speeds between 200 - 1000kbps.
For 2000kbps End Users speeds between 400 - 2000kbps.
Im just not happy with my download speeds, and the problems I have been getting whilst gaming.

entered my phonenumber and selected "go" It then takes me to a testign page and then it brings me to the result page which shows this :S
The speed test has completed on test server speedtester1.nat.bt.com for user 02082****** and you have downloaded a 1.7Mb file at a speed of
90 kilo bits per second (Kbps), your service bandwidth will have been quoted to you in kilo bits per second.
Your IP address is 87.114.**.**, your browser is reported as being Mozilla 5.0 and is running on Windows NT 5.2.
BT would regard the speed ranges shown below as normal service:
For 250kbps End Users speeds between 50 - 250kbps.
For 500kbps End Users speeds between 100 - 500kbps.
For 1000kbps End Users speeds between 200 - 1000kbps.
For 2000kbps End Users speeds between 400 - 2000kbps.
You may now disconnect from the speed test account (click 'disconnect' in your internet connection window) and if you wish to regain normal access to the internet please re-connect to your ISP using your usual username and password.
Please note that test results may vary according to varying traffic in the network. If you continue to experience slower throughput when logged in to your ISP, this may be due to a slow internet site or high traffic levels beyond the BT Wholesale Network. Please report this situation to your ISP's helpdesk.

The first stage is to identify whether the fault is internal to your property (wiring or hardware). I suggest you start by working through Jameseh's blog http://community.plus.net/blog/2007/07/02/broadband-speed-faults-how-to-diagnose/. That text is based on the assumption that readers are on an ADSLmax service which I don't think you are, but the principles described still apply. Whether your line is suitable for ADSLmax is something Plusnet staff should be able to sort out for you tomorrow.
Edit: fix truncation of link.

Second you should report a speed fault as the BT test shows you are below the fault level so you should raise a speed fault quoting the BT result
Edit - the link above doesn't work due to the silly shortening of the link - this is the correct one
