Really slow broadband

[#1]

On Thursday I could not connect to the internet.  The router showed that a connection was made for a very short time and then lost it.  I changed routers and all the cables and no improvement.  Rang plusnet on Friday and they are investigating.  Since Saturday I've had a connection at a speed of approx 0.25Mbs download and 0.5Mbs upload.  I'm still waiting to hear from plusnet but had an email yesterday saying its been handed to the "correct team".  The BT test connector must be somewhere in the loft where the outside line enters the house and with no loft flooring up there I can't access it.  I live in a village some way from the exchange and am told to expect a speed of 2 Mbs, that's what I've been getting up until Thursday.
Very grateful if someone can assist.  It's so frustrating.

schnuffi,
Welcome to the forums.  The Digital Care Team (DCT) - PlusNET staff - are not on the forums out side of normal office hours, so they might not respond until sometime on Tuesday.
Your SNRM figure is very high, thereby reducing the synch speed - the question is why?
You say that you cannot find the master socket, believing that it is in the loft.  Makes me wonder if there is one at all.  Do you have any idea how old your phone line is?  What kind of phone joint boxes can you locate / identify?
Is there any noise on the line - dial 17070 option 2 - if it is noisy get your phone supplier to fix this, but do not tell them you have a broadband issue or they will pass the buck.  If it PN supplied, then raise a fault at http://faults.plus.net
How many phone extensions gave you got?  Have they all got filters?  Have you tried a new filter for the router ?

Thanks for the reply.
Ive tried the noise test and its fine. The house was built in 1981. Ive tried different filters cables routers etc.
No idea about a test socket. Theres a junction box in the loft about 5 metres from where the line enters the bungalow, this feeds 2 lines into bedrooms. Ive attached the router to both lines with the same results.
I rang plusnet on Friday so they have it logged.
Thanks again, much appreciated

Update; a couple of days ago I received a text from plusnet, "Test Result Fail. Fault located between DP and customer apparatus (no appointment required). Description fault - Dis in Network".  I was advised that the supplier forecast to fix on 29th May or before.  Yesterday around 4pm an Outreach engineer called, I wasn't expecting this.  He looked around and plugged a device into the BT wall socket.  He told me that it showed the line is fine to the exchange and showed me the greens on the device display (not that I knew what I was looking at).  I'm still getting  a very low internet connection 0.18mbs downloads.
The link in the member's section to the fault's correspondence (ticket?) is no longer showing (I've no idea where to find the detail of the fault's progress now, it's probably obvious but not to me).
If someone can show me where I keep up to date with the progress of this fault I'd be grateful.  There was a link on my members area but that vanished yesterday sometime.
Thanks
