I just received a Email from Plusnet saying
Now that your service has now been active for 14 days, we thought we'd let you
know the speed as it stands today, by way of comparison.
Estimated line speed: 18.5Mbps
Current line speed: 13Mbps
will it ever reach 18.5 Mbps ?
Please do not ask me to plug my router into the BT master socket as I have not got one ,its a very old connection box.
Thanks in advance

it it was reduced to 3dB you might get results closer to those with ADSL24 which I assume was LLU but not the full18.5Mbps I think

Bear in mind that there is a chance this could make your connection unstable.

My DL speed has dropped since I switched off my router, the SNR has increased from 6db to around 12db. Bandwidth gone from around 14,000 kbps to 9,729 kbps.
It's been rock solid for days when I left the router on all the time, no dropped connections or anything. Then I decided to switch it off to save electricity when out at work and switch it back on when I get home (I used to do this all the time with my previous ISP and it had no effect on the connection). I understand that the system is detecting my switching off the router as a line noise issue and trys a higher SNR to compensate and give a stable connection.
Is it possible to fix my SNR to 6db or lower please so it doesn't change when I switch my router off and on again?
In any case, please can I have my SNR reduced back to normal.

I've performed an SNR reset for you so you should start to see an increase in your speeds in the next 10-15 minutes. I can also see that it looks like you've turned your router off a few times over the past week and this may have caused this. You can see this here:

If you have been turning the router off ensure that in the future you're going into the router settings and clicking "Disconnect" if you need to power down instead of just switching it off as this may help. The software in the exchange (DLM) picks up on this and sees this as your line disconnecting so this may cause your line profile to change.

We can't guarantee that the DLM will differentiate between you turning the router off and the line disconnecting so by clicking "Disconnect" instead of just turning the router off increases the chance of the DLM not seeing this as your line disconnecting. My advice would be to leave your router on.
