It won't be Plusnet throttling things. How are you connecting to the router? If it's wireless or powerline devices then that could be the problem. If you're not doing it already you need to to use an Ethernet cable to make sure that this is not the problem.

doesn't sound like a connection issue if it's getting 30Mbps whilst streaming that's more than enough for HD it only needs 5Mbps, I can stream 4K and i get around 35-38Mbps whilst streaming it only needs 25Mbps.
The OP does have the standard Plan with the video quality settings set to high or auto ? Basic plan is SD only, they are are not trying to watch HD content on the basic plan are they if so that would be the reason for only the SD (480) option.

Its an option within your account, rather than a setting within the apps

I have had exactly the same experience with both WiFi and Powerline units causing buffering. I installed a CAT5e cable with wall sockets to make a professional job of it. Since then I have had no buffering whatsoever.
