Speed slowly but surely decreasing

Hi, I'm just wondering why my download speed seems to be degrading gradually over the last few days/weeks. I checked my recent speed tests and it appears that its been going down since November 😕 My connection did drop 2 or 3 times in the last few weeks along with me moving stuff around which included turning the router off so I'm curious if it was that which has caused the drops. It's not a "major" drop in speed but it's still noticeable when my brother starts watching stuff online while I am.
Results from November to today

Any input to this would be nice

Re: Speed slowly but surely decreasing

and now the Plusnet profile needs to be increased to suit
I suspect that your default noise margin has increased from 3dB
How long ago was the last resync
It would be useful if the staff could provide details of the line stability as this may provide a clue as to the problem
