My broadband speed seems to have dropped to a pretty constant 500kbps in the last couple of weeks
I've done all the speed checks and raised a ticket
Interestingly, one of the tests I did (BT wholesale test) seemed to suggest that the maximum I could get with my connection was 0.5mbps which is terrible
Have I read that correctly?
I've had a much higher speed than that in the past so can't understand why it's showing this as maximum.
Results of router and bt test below
ROUTER TEST

Max Achievable Speed
Download speed achieved during the test was - 0.18 Mbps

IP Profile for your line is - 0.5 Mbps
2. Upstream Test: -provides background information.

We can no longer watch any streamed video or music anymore - very frustrating
thanks

The much less simple answer is why it has happened
I assume that you have raised a fault here http://faults.plus.net and not a normal ticket
The staff on here should be able to help on Monday

I suspect you'll get a response to this thread tomorrow from the Digital Care Team. I suspect they will do an 'SNR reset' which will remove the banding and reset the line back to a 6dB margin. You should then get about 6.5-7Mbps.
Really hope you get this sorted :).

I've posted a graph of your conenction which seems to show why your line is currently running at a slower rate:

Has anything changed internally to your setup?
A SNR reset will be required, but first we'd need to see that your line is stable again. Our faults team are testing your line and will be in-touch with you.

The problem with slow speeds has been there for a couple of weeks - not just over this weekend - where there was no interruption to supply

I've just got home to test my new super duper speedy internet but I still don't seem to have any improvement
The router says I should get good speeds download of 5683kbps) but the BT test (with my laptop connected directly to the router still shows slow speeds (see below)
Is there something else I need to do (like rebooting the router? - I was told not to disconnect the router during the 10 days testing
thanks

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.
