Broadband speed absolutely dire-original post 8/9/2014 resolved until now)

My Broadband speed has reverted to the same abysmal speed as was reported as a fault last September with upload speeds being better than download speeds.
Until recently my Broadband speed has been ok with no noticeable problems. But lately over the last 2 weeks it has become unbearably slow, so I decided to check the BB speed as web pages were taking so long to load, much longer than usual. The following results speak for themselves.  
I am plugged into the main BT socket (lower facing plate unscrewed and removed plugged into the test socket). I use Devolo dLAN Power Line adapters for smart TV and in rooms other than where the router is located.
I did unplug my router this morning to reboot in an attempt to resolve before reporting as a problem.
These are the results you ask for.
Please report this as a problem and ask the Plus net engineers to reset whatever requires resetting. Thank you

Most obvious problem is the last item on your stats - the PlusNet line speed has dropped to a level which is limiting your download speed to what you are seeing.
It should catch up on its own, but sometimes doesn't - if you are able to use the 'Live Chat' facility on the main portal they should be able to reset it for you, if you can't, ring Faults instead.

Ive just checked my line speed and it is back to a respectable and acceptable (to me) 4.71 Mbps download and 0.89Mbps upload. Thank you to who ever it was that picked this up as a fault/problem on here as I didnt report it anywhere else. Fingers crossed

It looks like your router had a bad day on the 17th as this is when the speed profile dropped on our end.
Glad to hear it's sorted itself out but if the issue rears its head again let us know.
