Download speed problem

My download speed has dropped from around 5.5Mb to 0.1Mb.

I have tried to run speedtester.bt.com with this result

The Performance Tester is currently unable to run a speed test for your broadband connection. Please try again shortly, however if this problem persists, raise the issue with your service provider.

I have tried multiple times with the same error.
My router stats are below.

Parameters
DSP Firmware Version E.25.41.55 A
Connected true
Operational Mode G.Dmt
Annex Type AnnexA
Upstream 448000
Downstream 7168000
Elapsed Time 0 day 0 hr 49 min 4 sec
SNR Margin(Upstream) 22 dB
SNR Margin(Downstream) 11.5 dB
Line Attenuation(Upstream) 23.5 dB
Line Attenuation(Downstream) 40.0 dB
CRC Errors(Upstream) 5

As you can see downstream looks ok. I have tried resetting the router and running speedtests from wired and wireless connection, with identical results.
My plus net IP profile seems normal at 5.5mb
Can someone please look to see what the issue is?
Thanks

Re: Download speed problem

I've had a look over your account and can't see anything that would causes these problems. I'd suggest logging in to the router, disconnecting and then reconnecting and trying another speedtest (try a couple of different sites) and then running through https://faults.plus.net and report this through to our faults team if you're still having problems.

Re: Download speed problem

Resolved.
I still don't know what caused the problem, as all 5 of my machines experienced the same problem.
Today I'm back up to my usual speed.

Re: Download speed problem

Glad it's back to normal, not to sure what caused it as there were no network issues.
If there's anything else then give us a shout.
