I had a BT Openreach engineer visit yesterday to address a fault on the line (phone line had no dial tone). The line has now been fixed, and internet is back up and running - but my previous speeds of 72mb have dropped to 5mb. I thought it might take some time to settle, but 24 hours on its still running at the slow speed.
I've tried resetting the router and modem, but to no avail.
Is there something else I can do to get my 72mbs speed back?
thanks

Start with "Help and Support"
Then "Ask a question"
Then "Broadband Speed"
Then "I want to report a speed problem"

Log in to the Modem/Router, in the Internet box, click Disconnect to drop the PPP Internet session (this is not the sync), wait 30 seconds then click Connect. This should ensure the relevant servers are updated with the current sync speeds.
Then run the BTw Performance test (ignore the red preamble except make sure no other programs are using the Internet) and at the end of the first run, click the Further Diagnostics button, enter just your Phone number and Run the Further Diagnostics Test.
The Downstream BT IP profile for the line should tell you if your sync speed is OK. and the Current Line speed should match this (not be substantially lower). If you want to post the figures, just do a Copy and Paste of the results and post (no need to grab an image).

Check your ticket again first and if there isn't an update yet -
The only thing you might try tonight is Log in to the Router, in the Internet box, click Disconnect to drop the PPP Internet session (this is not the sync). Then Power down the Router, then power down the Modem and leave it off for an hour. When you power up, wait for all the Modem lights to stabilise before you power up the Router. Log in to it and click Connect.
Then run the BTw Diagnostic test again and see if your Profile has improved, somehow I suspect it won't and will require Openreach action. If by any chance it has and is back to where it should be, you'll need to get your Current Line Speed updated to match as I don't know how quick the system will update it for you, so you may need to ring in later.

Sorry to hear about the issue, I also thing the speed may be banded at present, our faults guys do bear that in mind as a matter of course. There should be a response to your ticket soon.
