Sppeds have halved again.

Can this be investigated please.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the fast reply. Phone line is a bit noisy, but no more than usual. We usually only get about 1.2Mbps anyway.
I've not changed the wiring in any way.
Yes it's plugged into the master socket.
No microfilters - built into the master socket.
Like I said, nothing changed on my system.
This is an recurrent fault I get with the broadband. Speeds drops - I report it - no fault found - then speeds recover again?
1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
Download Speed | |
0.47 Mbps |
0 Mbps | 2 Mbps Max Achievable Speed |

This test was not conclusive and further testing is required.This might be useful for your Broadband Service Provider to investigate the fault.
If you wish to carry out further tests,please click on 'Continue' button.If not, please close the window using 'Exit' button and contact your ISP for further assistance with these results

BenB,
Out of interest when youi say you changed a users profile, what does that exactly mean? what is it that is being changed and why does it need to be changed?

We were unable to identify any performance problem with your service at this time.
It is possible that any problem you are currently, or had previously experienced may have been caused by traffic congestion on the Internet or by the server you were accessing responding slowly.
If you continue to encounter a problem with a specific server, please contact the administrator of that server in the first instance.

We hold a copy of the IP profile on our system, which is updated by delta reports. Your IP profile dropped down, probably due to a period of noise/instability on your line and our side just hadn't yet caught up when it increased again.

Chris, Just to say thank you. Speed still at 1.9 Mbps which is faster than I've ever had before. And you did it within one day. When phoning support, Plusnet usually take much longer, and have even sent out engineers to no avail.
I'll definately use the forum in future. And I did manage to upgrade to Windows 10.
