I have tried calling but the wait time is incredibly long so I have gone through the help pages and logged a call but it says 2 days before expect someone to pick that up.
Apart from rebooting, connecting to the modem and resetting equipment is there anything I can do to sort this myself?
Nothing has changed and wiring outside also looks fine.

Sorry to hear about the sudden drop in speeds there.
I've just been running a few checks for you but can't see any obvious causes for the problem, I can see you've raised a support ticket but we'd only reply to that asking for more information to be honest. To make sure we have all the information we need to investigate the fault and initiate automated tests I'd advise heading to http://faults.plus.net to report this through our online fault checker.

thank you both for the quick reply!
I have gone to the faults section of the helpdesk on the plus net site but there is no more to do.
The bt speedtest results:

I have checked and there is no parental controls switched on, on the router.
How do I share the result in the Bt checker?
