The exchange we are at (CLAUGHTON) was enabled for FTTC in 2012, our cabinet (59) is rather close to the exchange, however it still has not been upgraded (Still the small cabinet) to FTTC.
We are getting terrible speeds around a maximum of 500Kbp/s (5.1Mbps Down Rate and 0.1Mbps Up rate). I noticed quite a lot of t he cabinets around us have been upgraded except this one, I was hoping maybe you PlusNET guys maybe able to have a look in to what's going on, I know its asking for a bit much, but we haven't heard a thing, and dont know how to progress.

Claughton is fully ADSL2+ enabled
So if you are close to the exchange you should be getting a lot more than 5.1Mbps
How far are you from the exchange? - not as the crow flies but as the road network runs as this is likely to the the route the cable to your house takes
to be honest if there is a line problem you need this sorting out before any FTTC comes.
Faulty lines on ADSL will be very faulty indeed on FTTC
There are many reasons why cabients are not upgraded - often the usual is simply that they do not serve enough people to make them viable and that limited funds available could be better spent on cabinet serving several hundred properties.

Your Speed Profiles are all looking fine at the moment. If you could take a look at http://community.plus.net/library/broadband/broadband-faults-guide-speed/ this should give you some background. Your Loop Loss is 49db.
We've no information on your cabinet with regards to FTTC availability. The best place to go and check regularly is https://www.dslchecker.bt.com/

The standard graphs for a 49 attenuation loss indicate a distance from the exchange around 3.5 to 4.0km.
As to whether FTTC will benefit them depend on how far they live away from the cabinet that supplies them as with FTTC is the distance from their distribution cabinet that matters and not the distance from the exchange as with plain old ADSL.

Ordered a new modem see if that fixes speed issues as the one we have is about 2 years old, new router though, its an ASUS RT-AC68U.
At the moment im getting terrible download speed of no more than 150-200Kbp/s, that started around a week a go.
Snapshot from thinkbroadband, set up monitoring early in the morning (Ignore the first red bars, I forgot to enable ping response). This is with low usage, not downloading or uploading anything.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, the modem is connected to the master socket with a new filter, and all other sockets have filters as well.

The only things currently happening (Or have been happening in the last few hours) is just playing a couple of online video games and browsing the web.

Is there any other devices connected to your router Wirelessly? You can upload quite a bit even with capped upstream, I'm wondering what exactly is saturating your connection if it isn't you, knowingly.

Whatever it was, it seems to have calmed down a bit. Getting slightly higher speeds 300-400Kbp/s
