Download speed slower after short connection downtime.

Hello All.

 

I'm hoping someone can help. At 1:16am my internet connection went down for about 7 minutes. When it came back on it's like my connection speed has been capped.

Before the interruption I was getting a strong connected download speed of 35/36Mb. Never fluctuated at all since I moved to Plusnet at the beginning of February 2020.

Now I am receiving connected download speeds of 23/24Mb in every test I do.

All tests have been done using the BT Wholesale Performance Test website.

My guaranteed download line speed when I signed up to Plusnet was 30.2Mb I think.

 

Looking forward to hearing some ideas.

Many Thanks.

I've taken a look at the account and since your post, the line seems to be stable. A couple of drops occurred on Tuesday with one on Wednesday and Thursday but all seems good now. Please monitor and let us know if we can assist further.
