Ive run a speedtest at home and found that the broadband speed is now around 2.5mbit - this was always 60+.
This is true for both wired and wireless connections, the connection has no other machines connected to it.
Could this be some sort of profile issue?
Currently in the queue for support but the queue time is 60 minutes.

Estimated line speed:
There's no speed estimate currently held on your account.
Current line speed:
7.6 Mb
I'm not sure why the speed is so bad, it's very close to the local cabinet and was always much better than this.
BT Wholesale check reads as follows - 2.15 down, 3.97 up and 42.50ms latency

I would imagine your IP Profile is even lower now.

Had to change the login to the speedtest@domain thing, didn't even load the speed checker correctly so cannot even get the IP profile.

Got through on the phone.
Apparently the service ID was wrong, hence no estimated speed.
Have to book an engineer to look into it, 96 hours to book an appointment plus whatever lead time that also carries.

I did this 3 or 4 times in the first six months but it is totally stable now.
Apologies if you have already tried this but worth a go if you haven't

The current line speed has reset to an ADSL value
The speeds that you are getting - assuming your are checking wired not wireless - are so bad that this isn't the main cause
You can tell that by the upload speed of only 3.97Mbps when you used to get 60Mbps+ download which would have given you about 15Mbps+ upload

It sounds like some kind of fault.

Tried leaving the equipment off for a while but to no avail, I am guessing that there was some fault which has caused the issue. There is no noise on the line at all and the connection despite being insanely slow has actually been stable apparently.

6.71 down, 15.56 up 😕
Sure it's not just a profiling issue?

I'm not sure why you've been advised to raise a fault about this
The profile was incorrect at 7.6 on our end which will have been restricting your speeds.
If you log into your router and disconnect then reconnect your connection you should see a increase.
Alternatively if you reboot your router this will have the same affect
Actually one of my colleagues is looking into this further for you now
