o2 no problems at at nice speed all the time
Ive been with plus net a couple of days at first it was keeping up to o2's speeds and now all of a sudden tonight the speed drops to 400kbps been like this now for hours.
What could be the problem here everything was working fine before nothing has changed but by speed
I try to play my online game and its just lagging so much i cant even play it...
Is there a way plus net could change some settings their end o2 changed my settings so im sure plus net can too?

When you were with O2 did you ever do any speed tests
Can you run this check and see what it says about distance to the exchange - you need to put in your post code to get the distance http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/adslchecker.php

Also are you saying that with O2 you had 2000kbps because if that is the case something has gone badly wrong. Also with that attenuation the line length to the exchange should be well over 6km

This is why I asked if you had 2000kbps speeds.
If the speeds were 2000kbps on O2 and are now half that something has changed either at the exchange or in the wiring to the exchange or in your property.
To ensure that your wiring isn't the problem can you connect the router to the test socket without anything else connected and report the stats from the router.
One thing you need to be aware of is that LLU suppliers don't use the IPprofile system so the speed you see is what you get. With the IPprofile system the speeds are restricted to a bit less than the sync speed. You can read about it here http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/IPprofile.htm

You are now getting half that so something has changed to cause it.
If you want to find out what it is you will need to carry out basic diagnostics.
Plug the router into the test socket behind the master socket with nothing else connected
Try another filter and another connector from the test socket to the router
If possible try another router
EDIT - Plusnet have no control over the synch speed between you and the exchange which is where your problem lies
