Unless I am mistaken, when the switch to ADSL2+ occurs early tomorrow morning, the line will be reset and a new 10 day training period will start.
Is the wiring between the phone socket to the BT hub exactly the same as when you were with BT broadband? Have you changed any cables and microfilters?

Before Plusnet instructed you to turn off the hub for a few minutes, did you recall whether the Broadband and Internet lights on the front of the hub were both green or red ?
With no router stats history prior to restarting the hub around 5.25pm, I can only speculate the noise margin must have dropped off considerably from 6db. Restarting the hub at around 5.25pm when there was perhaps more noise on the line, resulted in the lower 2mb line speed presently reported by the hub in order to maintain the normal 6db noise margin.

I used to build a PCs from scratch, I can water cool nearly every component, I can flash the bios till it sings, I can overclock it till its close to melt down, but things to do with the net leaves me cold, it has too many vagaries, too many things beyond my control.
All I know is PN promised me the same speeds as BT !!!!!!!!!

No I am still waiting for the update, it is scheduled for today? my speeds are getting worse.
I see you use Ubuntu, I used Ubuntu fo a few years Ubuntu 12.10 was my last one before migrating back to Windows, might put it back on and dual boot,over the years I think I have tried every Linux distro there is.
I am part of the experiment with SamKnows white box, do you know if there any more on here?

Have you checked the router stats and DSL diagnostic history pages to see if there has been any activity overnight.
