Well I could do with 2 answers.
I Have copied and pasted both the links which show my broadband speed......I assumed they would show the box with the speed but clearly this is not the case. So the first question is how do I do this ?
The second is why has my speed dropped by 50% ?

Router stats - attenuation, speeds, noise margin
Result of BT Speedtest and the current line speed given here https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed would be a start

I Have made 447 posts but the number of posts a person makes is not a reliable method to judge their knowledge of computers and the internet.
I do admit that on one occassion in the past I did manage to display the speed test box and assumed posting these links would display the box, in short having done it once some time ago I fail to recall how I did it.
I Have no intention of apologising for a poor memory which comes with increasing age and hope that yourself or someone else will be kind enough to give me the information required providing it's not to much trouble.

If you have a Plusnet router they are here
If you don't look here http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/frogstats.php
To paste the results from the BT speedtest just select the text, copy it then past it into the post.
This is a link to the speedtest http://speedtester.bt.com/
The result will look like this
Quote Download speed achieved during the test was - 1945 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 1200-4000 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :4032 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 3500 Kbps
Note the speed test we we want isn't the one you are using
To add - to paste the result of the speedtest you are using you need to copy the whole forum link unfortunately that isn't easy because the page doesn't seem to allow that.
One way round it is to copy the direct link and paste it in as below

Quote from: Oldjim To add - to paste the result of the speedtest you are using you need to copy the whole forum link unfortunately that isn't easy because the page doesn't seem to allow that.
After you click the share link hit the tab key once all the text in the box is selected ready for copying.
Or
Click in to the forum link box and key CTRL A which will again select all the text.
Edit: CTRL A is the same as right click Select All

The automatic systems have decided your line is unstable and have increased the default noise margin from 6dB or 9dB to 15dB.
This is why your speeds have dropped.
If you can check your noise margin in the late evening and report it then we will see if there is a very big variation.
If you have a Thomson 585 router it would be an even better idea to download routerstats and let that monitor the error rates and noise margin http://www.vwlowen.co.uk/internet/files.htm
