my boadband is so slow?

just got plusnet the other day and so far im not to impressed.
i only use it for browsing the web and gaming (ps4)
i have noticed serious lag and have been unable to complete a game of fifa. it just disconnects from the servers.
anyway im supposed to be getting 7mb but its much lower than that constantly.
i have tried the ps4 hooked up and wireless and nothing is helping.
any ideas?
thanks

The "My Broadband Speed" site is borked - don't rely on it.
Can you provide the information from this post to help the guys diagnose your issue?

Hopefully, you should see some improvements by Wednesday (a router restart might be required).  If no improvements are seen, then please post back here.
