For anyone still on the Unlimited Fibre Extra package are you still getting your normal speeds? I've always got very close to the full 80/20 speed as the FTC box is right next to my house. Recently however I've noticed a speed drop. Checking it over several days shows the service is now capped at 67 Mbit/s, the same speed as BT's Social Broadband tariff.

@Tench Have you checked for potential faults?

Yes, nothing has changed. No faults, nothing running in the background on local PC or network. No IOT devices or phone updates. All checked.

OK. Which router are you using, and do you still have a landline phone?

The only meaningful metric is the sync speed reported by the router and the signal level.
In another browser tab, login into the Plusnet user portal BEFORE clicking the fault & ticket links

Not all connections are equal
For a good indication of line status can you post, assuming plusnet supplied device
Hub One ->Troubleshooting --> Help desk screen
Hub Two -> Advanced settings > Technical log.

Yes its Hub Two. Here is some relevant info from the technical log. I won't post all of it as it exposes my SSID and router details. Its trivial for someone to trace your address via Wigle with an SSID, you should reconsider asking users to post it on a public forum..
Data rate:20 Mbps / 79.999 Mbps
Maximum data rate:37.421 Mbps / 118.695 Mbps
Noise margin:16.8 / 15.6
Line attenuation:5.7 / 10.0
Signal attenuation:5.6 / 10.3

I appreciate your caution, although after more years than I care to remember being on support forums, I find it a little OTT. No matter.
From the information you have provided, I suspect you have a fault - report it via: https://www.plus.net/help/report-a-problem/
If it comes back as 'NFF' , post back and we can explore further.

So, if the "Data rate" is currently as reported at the router: 20 Mbps / 79.999 Mbps (along with 16.8/15.6dB S/N margin) - you are on 'normal' FTTC and you don't have a problem. At least, not with your Broadband connection. Any problem seems to me likely to be elsewhere; Wi-Fi? Connections to router?

If you're thinking its the high noise margins ? they're only high because the sync is limited to 80/20. In fact the high noise margins are good since they will result in lower error rates

@MisterW . That did initally cross my mind until I saw the attenuation figures, then I realised the OP must have the VDSL box in his front garden. No, I was going on his 67Mbs speed reported earlier - is that not one of DLM imposed levels when a fault is suspected/detected?

It may well be, but if it was a DLM imposed banding, then it would be the sync speed that's banded. In this case the sync is at the maximum for the 80/20 product, so it isnt banded

OK. Something has changed somewhere - maybe the eventlog will be revealing - if and when he returns?
