As title, switched from sky and finding plusnet very nearly unusable. Its like going back to my ancient dial up speeds. Can't describe how disappointed I am.
I have attached a speed test, which, ironically recommends plusnet as my fastest option, and I have also attached the DSL connection stats from my router as Oldjim suggests on his thread.
Can anyone please suggest why my speeds are so slow, as I assume these speeds aren't normal or acceptable? Thanks.

Is that speed test wired or wireless
Can you run the BT speedtest - further diagnostics
Also what is the Current Line Speed from https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed
The Plusnet speed they are reporting as fast is Fibre
As a point there is nothing much wrong with your router stats except that for some reason your upload has been capped and shouldn't be - that should be picked up in the morning

Thanks for the reply. I could probably do the bt test tomorrow as it is in the loft. I have attached the current line speed as requested. I was going on the 1.2mb download and 0.3mb upload speed reading, If the speeds are as fast as fibre could there be another reason why it is so slow, please? I would have assumed its my laptop but other family members have commented how slow it is on their ipads etc.

That is fine and isn't the problem
You don't need to do tthe BT test from the master socket this time just on your normal connection but wired please

Hi leopardlady,
I've placed the order to uncap your upload speed and this should complete within the next 24 hours.
Once you've been able to run the test via an Ethernet cable that Oldjim has advised you of already please upload your findings here and we can take a look for you.
