Slower max speed

Hi, for the last 3 weeks or so my Download max speed has been about 4700kbps which is about 2000kbps lower than at its regular top speed.
I have been syncing at 8128 kbps  Downstream & 448 kbps Upstream, sometimes both  these have been lower but i was still able to get a 4700kbps Download speed.
I have tried all the usual router resets, replaced the filter, left the router for 9/10 days but still have not returned to my usual max Download of over 6000kbps.
I have noticed some fluctuation in SNR both up and down and perhaps this has caused my max speed to become stuck or lowered.
Broadband Speed Tests have also been erratic, one gave a download of 13000kbps another of 9000kbps from 2 different sites
My BT Speed Tester IP profile has also been lowered at times but is now back at 7.15

My Plusnet Current Line speed is 5 MB

Re: Slower max speed

It appears that you are on 20CN so it may sort itself out - the Plusnet Current Line Speed that it but otherwise you ciould either phone asking for it to be raised to match the IP profile or wait for it to be picked up on Monday.
Perhaps a more important question is why you are getting these speed fluctuations as you appear to be having sync problems.
You haven't got a Sky Box connected have you

Re: Slower max speed

No sky box just Plusnet Broadband & BT phone line. have left it till now for things to settle down,  i thought it could be due to the rainy weather or something else.
Will wait till folk are back at their desks on Monday and see what transpires
Thanks Oldjim

Definitely the problem, needs a nice Plusnet person to up it to match your BT IP profile.

@kdoug007
Don't worry, you shouldn't have a problem as long as your line is ok at the moment.  Richard682e's issue is a simple matter of updating a profile.

Re: Slower max speed

Hi Richard682e,
Your BT side profile had moved back to 7150 on the 19th, not sure why ours was behind but I've just set it back to 7150 and hope that sorts things for you.
