I am new to this ADSL stuff, before i had virgin but now i moved in a non virgin area.
PlusNet was my best choice. I chose the non contract broadband just in case virgin is coming.
Speed wise they say up to 17mb but i have 240kbs only. Shocking.
I tried to speak to customer service and they said its an old line and that was it.
attached an screenshot done with this BT tester links just in case it helps. Thank you very much.

The BT checker reads (for ADSL) 1 to 3 Mbps , where do you get the 17 Mbps from???
Your best bet would be to upgrade to FTTC

Unfortunately it may just be down the to capabilities of your line
Having said this, I would certainly expect you to be getting higher throughput speeds than 240kbs.
As ian007jen says, FTTC may be your best bet for a significant speed boost, considering the low estimates for ADSL.

Upstream Downstream
Current Rate (Kbps) 448 2592
Max Rate (Kbps) 572 2592
SNR Margin (dB) 11 6.3

i hope this helps.
Also customer support said there is no Fiber in my area so i need to stick to my adsl line. And is not even ADSL2
and yes it is currently 240kb/s

It's possible there was just a lack of capacity when you called and asked in February
