Here is what I have done to check my end:
Tested various download locations that always give good speeds.
Rebooted my rooter.
Rolled back my PC to a period before the issue occurred.
Checked (using inSSIDer) to see that there aren't any new wi-fi networks interfering, in fact the issue exists even when no nearby networks are broadcasting.
My router readings seem the same as ever, and are as follows:
The BT speedtest results are as follows:
To me it definitely looks like I am being throttled as plusnet, what do you think?

Any support staff care to hazard a guess at what is happening?

Quote from: jelv Three times dialup? Have you got your units right? I'm guessing the download is being shown in KBps - dialup modem max's at 7KBps.
All I can tell you is it is slower than a dead squirrel whereas it used to be like a one on pills zipping from branch to branch.
James, Mand are you there? Can somneopne look at this please?

Have you tried changing gateways?
Are the speeds poor all the time? Or is it just today you've seen the issue?

A couple of days now, can you point me at how to change gateways and suggest which one?
Thanks
