This part has nothing to do with Plusnet, and everything to do with you and BT.
Have you changed anything with your telephones recently? Plugged in a new Sky box or phone (even briefly) without a filter?
This may have been a one-off, but due to the way that the BT DLM systems work, it can take up to 3 days for your profile to return to normal.

Once the Profile is messed up it takes the BT Computers a few days to catch up again, sometimes doing a speed test on www.speedtester.bt.com might speed things up if you try that a few times.
-----snip----------
~ How often does it change?
Previously your IP profile would be amended within 75 mins for a decrease in sync speed, or after 3 days for an increase in sync speed. Obviously this arrangement wasn't always the best solution since it could take several days to recover from one bad sync period such as during a thunderstorm.
With effect from Aug 2007, BT will introduce "Adaptive Max Logic" which will replace both the 3 day system and Blip logic. This should be of benefit to those who have suffered from an unusually low sync, although smaller increases will take a bit longer.
Your IP profile will continually change whilst you are on a maxdsl service dependant upon the speed at which you connect to the exchange at. Good Lines will seldom see any changes, but long lines are subject to frequent changes depending upon the connection speed.
Because of the way SNR behaves, most lines will achieve a better sync speed during the early part of the day than in the evenings.

Quote from: Barry That indicates an issue between you and the exchange - there has been a low-sync event which has caused your profile to drop to 500.

It is the same with me, and as I can see, many others, and yet Plusnet blame it on everybody but the obvious inept service they provide. I have already started to look for another ISP and having asked Plusenet for the MAC code, all they do is ask me to ring an 0845 number to do it. Is this legal? Do I have to ring a chargeable number to end a rubbish service?
I too have not done anything to my line, it just suddenly dropped from around three weeks ago and the best speed I've been getting has been ( half ) 0.5 Mbps when I'm paying for 8 Mbps.
I don't want any answers from those paid by plusnet, but from customers who are suffering like me. I think I will take this onto a public forum to warn those people in the south who are thinking about joining plusnet after the recent advertising campaign, about what to expect. Terrible service and worse customer care ...

Quote from: mrp3sky I will be ringing up Monday morning for my MAC as they really do not care one little bit, my contract is up in June anyway so will simply move elsewhere a little bit sooner. So much for treating loyal customers well, what am i saying they don't treat any customer very well from looking on here and other forums,
I am ringing Monday too. My contract ends in September, but I cannot stand this rubbish service any longer ... Plusnet is the worst ISP I have ever been with. All have their problems and don't give a hoot about their customers, but with the others, at least you get some decent speeds. The last few weeks, I've been lucky to reach 0.5 Mbps. Plusnet are a joke ..

If you have speed problems then run BT Speedtester see what the sync is on there, then check your sync profile on plus.net. I found a major difference i.e BT=7150 and Plus=500, the person on the phone simply changed Plus Sync Profile to match and it worked fine.
Why they couldn't do this last thursday or saturday is beyond me
