New to Plusnet - 4 weeks later slow speed

Hi Plusnetters
I joined from BT over 1 month ago, nothing has changed but the provider........and the speed of my connection. I was regularly getting over 10mbps download speeds, I now get a maximum of 2.8mbps
Estimated line speed:
    17Mb (This may vary between 10Mb and 19.5Mb) - Checked on 2016-03-20 16:38:24
Current line speed:
    2.7 Mb
It's causing havoc in our house! I've tried all the advice given on the Plusnet site, but had no luck. Any advice offered would be great.

Plusnet have altered some settings on my line to try and resolve this problem. I now get an average of 5.93Mb which is over double what I was getting by way under what I signed up for. M

My landline now has a two tone sound over the top of the dailing tone.
Any ideas?

I can see we've asked to book a engineer to get this fixed.
If you want to cancel you'd have to pay early termination fees as we haven't had a chance to get a engineer out.

Good news. BT Openreach engineer came out, there were 1300 errors on my line. All sorted and up to 15.3mps. I'll take that for now.
