Estimated line speed: 14Mbps
Current line speed: 4.9Mbps
There's obviously quite a big gap but what's bothering me is that during the first day, I was connected at near 8 mbps which I was very happy with. The next day it dropped to 3.5-4 mbps and has been that way since. is there any way to get it back to 8 mbps or even close to estimated 14 mbps?
Also my upload seems to be capped at 0.3 mbps - how can I get this uncapped?

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you're having with low speeds. I've checked over your line and can see that your upload speeds are uncapped. There could be a potential issue with your line.
Would you be able to connect your router into your Test Socket with an alternative Microfilter?

I don't think there is a test socket in my flat - I will double check after work today but just wanted to see if there is anything that could be done in the interim. Thanks.

I could reset the line but I don't think that's going to resolve the issue if I'm honest. Let us know if you have a Test Socket, if not, swapping the microfilter would be the next step.
If this doesn't resolve the issue, we can get you a fault raised for us to look in to.

* Changed filter
* Hard reset modem + 15 min wait
* Ethernet connection instead of wifi
I've attached a screenshot of a BT speed test.

If you could complete the Fault Checker that you've started, we'll get our Faults Team to run some in-depth checks and they'll get in touch with you to discuss how we go about resolving this for you.
