Since joining PN over a year ago i have had a solid connection 80/20 speeds.(77/18)
It's seems that for some reason i now only get 40/20 (37/18)
Is there a reason why my speeds have been cut in half?
Pings are the same so i'm guessing the profile has been changed but i have no idea why.
I have done all the usual tests and i think it's pointless because it seems to be on PN side.
Since about 27/7/15 this happened so i thought it might have something to do with the release of Win 10, since it's been nearly a week since then i'm starting to doubt that now.
Kinda sucks to have lost my 9mb/s DL speeds for no reason
Can someone please look into it for me and at least give me an answer on why.
Thanks.
Alison.

Also run the BT Speed Test, then put in your phone number, and see what it reports for your IP profile.

77.4 Mb.
Pings gone up a bit too it's usually 11 to this server.
I've done a line test for noise on the phone and it's dead silent. Did cold restart on both routers. Checked all the wiring.
I did get a power outage around the time i noticed the speed drop but i get power outages pretty often and never before has it dropped.
I also upgraded to Win 10 around that time too but i doubt that has anything to do with it.

What does the BTW further diagnostic test give it will state what the BT IP profile is, the current line speed is for Plusnets side and that's ok so we need to see if the BT IP one has dropped or not.

Sorry, but without upgrading to the higher product the speeds you're seeing now are correct.

I didn't even know there was a higher package. How cruel, to give me 80mb for a whole year and then just take it away.
I'm going to contact my Lawyer and ask for alimony because i'm pretty sure you can't just give somebody the high life for that long and then just take it away.
I was just trying to find the original emails from PN because i think we were offered a deal or some promo you had running at the time. I remember a lady on the phone offered a deal if we took a longer contract (18months).
I just can't remember the details now.
btw just to clear things up, we did ask for the fastest speeds @ the beginning. I thought we had the fastest package, obviously not now. Please upgrade me back to 80Mb as that's what i wanted in the start.
I understand there's an additional charge for Extra but i don't mind that as long as the mistake you've made won't be charged back.
Thanks
Alison.
