My router lost connection a couple of times in the last day or so, and now the BT Wholesale speed checker is saying my IP profile is 17.8Mbps. It was previously stable at around the ~30Mbps and has been for some time. Nothing has changed in the house.
Do I just need to wait to see if the IP profile resets? Do I need to do anything (like restart my router after so many days)?

It looks like there were quite a number of disconnections yesterday which are suggesting something was wrong/is wrong with the line:
However I've just tested the line and it seems the profile has already increased again, with the line now connecting at 35Mb/s
How's it performing now?

Hi Chris,
Yes, it says it's connected at 35Mbps on the router now - whew! Thanks for the graph of the disconnects. Looks like the line went through a very rough patch.
That said, running a speed test across a number of services, it would appear I am still rate limited for some reason. See attached and this speedtest.net result.

It still won't go any faster than ~14 Mbps even though it's still connected at 35 Mbps and my IP profile is 33.88 Mbps. I've attached a screenshot of the BT speedtest.

@Chris, I left it for a few days and I still couldn't get a speed test to go above 14 Mbps, even though it was saying it is connected at 35 Mbps. So today I restarted the router and, voila, it is still saying it's connected at 35 Mbps, but the speed tests are back to what I'd expect (~30-33 Mbps).
So it just needed a manual restart for some reason.
