Can someone please, please help.
Username is bigliz
I've Moved house & transferred Plusnet phone and broadband. BT engineer installed phone line at new property 2 weeks ago and broadband worked fine until the MSO last week. Since then the speed has continually been 300-400kbps.
I reset the router (again) on Saturday and thought all was ok the speed was 2400kbps at 2pm but by 4pm had dropped to 450 kbps and 350 kbps by 6pm. The speed has stayed below 500kbps since then. I've tried resetting the router, fitting new filter & plugging it into the test socket all to no avail.
I'm using a different router (it's a Thomson TG585 v8 same model as mine) this morning but the speed is still only 494kbps.
The router is plugged into the master socket. It's the only socket in the house.
I've pasted the router stats below. The plusnet High Speed broadband estimated line speed link is no help as it is still showing the exchange at my old address
Grateful for any help or ideas. Thanks for reading

ignore the red text once the test is done select further diagnostics and post the result this will show what the BT profile is currently set at.

I've just come home and run Mybroadbandspeed test and it's now 2835kbps download & 372kbps upload. Hooray.
I assume someone from Plusnet has worked wonders. Can I say a big thank you to him/her
The results from your link are also encouraging:
Download speed achieved during the test was - 2.79 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 1.2 Mbps-4 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 2.87 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.35Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 0.45 Mbps
Thanks for the help

This test was not conclusive and further testing is required.This might be useful for your Broadband Service Provider to investigate the fault.

Can we concentrate on the router stats please? There is no point chasing data speed tests until we see a stable synch rate. Looking at the stats above something is not right with the line.
Do you have a dial tone? Check it periodically, especially when the internet is very slow. You need two wires connected for the phone to work, broadband can continue with a struggle with a broken wire.
Is the line quiet? Dial 17070 option 2.
You might be suffering from REIN (bad news), but let's get the bases covered first, possibly by raising a fault report here - http://faults.plus.net
In another browser tab, login into the Plusnet user portal BEFORE clicking the fault & ticket links
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.
