Thanks Phil..yes I came to that conclusion years ago.... However If I was getting 70mb in 2024.... and now lucky to get 50mb with plusnet maybe OReach are cutting the margins for their lines so PN are having to degrade them...Just a thought... If I can get an agreement from say BT to get back up to 70mb then Ill swap. Here is my contract from 2024 and now 2026

PN do not throttle speed or cap bandwidth - they pay a fixed price for a line.

What does the OR website say for your address?

Possibly not a good idea to publish your PN account username.

No, I saw similar performance drops over the years, it's the copper cables degrading (water ingress etc.) and crosstalk from other users of the copper cable.

There isn't some "magic fix" that can be done to make yours better although it sounds like some fault has been found.

I had a line fault a while back (cause unknown but I wonder if it was tree related) and they gave me a different copper pair for some of the run. That fixed it for the remainder of the time I was on copper.

This is one of the reasons Openreach is moving to full fibre but it takes time.

Open Reach said there wasn't enough houses....so they're not putting full fibre in....Theyre swapping my router they think its that ..we'll see

... and what do your local AltNets say ? - as they often target building full fibre where Openreach can't be bothered.

I highly doubt that there is anything wrong with your router, I expect the replacement Hub Two will perform exactly the same.

Instead of waiting to perform this waste of time router swap, you'd be better off providing this forum with the information that we've requested - so we can use our collective knowledge to figure out what your real problem is regarding low speeds.
