Hi @tjh1837,
I'm sorry to hear that your speed has dropped again. I've tested your line and the test indicates that your line is currently syncing at 78.6mbps. Your connection profile is still set correctly on the account from when @Gandalf changed this:

Please can you confirm whether this issue is still ongoing? If so, is it currently solely affecting wireless connections or are wired connections affected too?

Withe ethernet cable between router and PC.
I have let the broadband settle down for a few days and it seems to have now stabilised at around 65 mbps download speed.
Please could you confirm that I will not be charged for either of the Engineer visits that were necessary in order to reach this level of performance.

Hi there @tjh1837 I'm afraid I can't absolutely confirm that no charge will be issued for the visits as the charge itself is generated by our suppliers and can take up to 90 days to be passed on.
However, I would say with confidence that if the issue was found to be outside of your control and within the suppliers realm of authority to correct then you would not be issued a charge.
The charge is only issued under circumstances where the engineer visit was not necessary, where a fault is caused by customer maintained equipment or wiring or had the customer caused damage to the network which created the fault.

After enjoying a stable average download speed of 65 mbps earlier in the week, it has now gone back to around 49 mbps. Which is the speed I was getting, at the master test socket, during the Engineer visit on 02 August. He found that there was nothing wrong with my installation and that the line was capable of 72 mbps but I was “not being allowed to use it”. He held a lengthy phone call with Plusnet and told me, before he left, that the problem lay with Plusnet.. who were investigating it.
Subsequently Plusnet informed me that they had, once more, reset my Profile ... after which the speed stabilised at the 65 mbps average mentioned above.
So it seems almost certain that my Profile needs resetting again. Pleases could you do this?
Please note that my measurements are made, after the obligatory hardware reboot; using the BTW speed tester, on my PC, which is connected by ethernet cable to my router. All other devices being switched off.

Thanks for getting back to us @tjh1837
I'm sorry to see your speeds have dropped again.
I've checked the connection profile on your account and this is set at 66.2mbps. It's worth noting that this generally only changes if you either change to a different product or the physical speed your router is in sync at changes.
In this case it doesn't look like it changed when your sync speed dropped to 57.4mbps I can see it at now. Your connection is dropping heavily so I'd bet that these drops are the causes for the speed issues you're experiencing:
I think it's best if we arrange another engineer to investigate this further.
Could you reply to the ticket https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=view_question&id=192510179 I've updated your availability for another engineer to visit nudging us over here once you've done so and we'll get it picked up as soon as we can.

Thank you.
So the visit is lntended to diagnose the reason ffor the line drop-outs.
I still await Plusnet’s confirmation that I will not be charged for the previous two Engineer visits. On the understanding that I will not be charged for this third one, I can agree to it.
I have used the link you provided but have failed to find a way to arrange the appointment.
Please would you arrange it for me ....... any day next week, except Monday morning or at any time on Thursday.
Please email me with the time and date.
Tuesday morning would be convenient.

Thanks for getting back to us @tjh1837
I'm afraid I can't book an engineer visit solely off a post via our community forums. If you're unable to reply to the ticket by clicking on the "I need to add more details" button at the bottom, would you be free for me to call you back?
With regards to if we'll charge you a call out fee we won't know that until within 90 days after a fault investigation has finished. This is because we robustly defend all engineer charges and will only pass £65 onto yourself if absolutely valid.

Have had another go at the ticket method but it remains a mystery.
I would be very grateful if you could phone me, as you suggest.

Thanks for your time on the phone @tjh1837
As discussed I've booked the engineer visit for Wednesday 14/08/2019 between 8am and 1pm.
I've also emailed Openreach requesting that this is escalated with the local area manager to assign a multi-skilled engineer to the job to carry out a thorough investigation.
If you've got anything else to add or need any further assistance, please do feel free to let us know.

Panic!
For the last 18 hours, download speed has been around 5 mbps. Barely useable.
Is this another manifestation of the drop-out events?

I'm sorry to see your speeds have dropped, I'd say it's extremely likely to be related with the drops:
I hope that the engineer on Wednesday is able to sort this out for you, and I'm sorry again for the issues.
