Re: Poor Broadband Speed

It would appear that you have a phone fault which should be reported to your phone supplier if not Plusnet or via this if it is Plusnet http://portal.plus.net/my-account/tools/phone-troubleshooter

Thanks for the link. I Ran the checker but it's not finding any problems. I suppose the next step is to I ring Plusnet and sit in their very long queue.
