Fiber Speeds dropped.

Since getting Plusnet ive had a constant connection of around 78mb and in this few days its dropped to 38mb. at first i thought it was just a peak time issue but its not.
Estimated line speed:
There's no speed estimate currently held on your account. (its always said this for some reason)
Current line speed:
38.6 Mb

Ive not changed anything apart from updating my modems firmware. the Openreach box and router is upstairs and connected via the master socket with a telephone extension cable that ive used for years, the enginner who installed my Fibre seemed to think it was ok.
any suggestions?

Re: Fiber Speeds dropped.

Can you run the BT speed test and also go through the further diagnostics: http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/
Also are speedtests being run on wireless or wired?

Re: Fiber Speeds dropped.

Hi ChowchillaC,
I've checked your line and can see that your Modem is connected to the Cabinet at full 80/20 speeds.
To rule out the router being the cause of the issue, would you be able to try a PPPoE connection please?

Re: Fiber Speeds dropped.

I think it might be worth leaving it open just so we can get the tests done to ensure the issue doesn't return for you.
