I've detected that my fibre extra download speed has dropped drastically, to about a third of guaranteed minimum. Upload doesn't appear to be impacted.
From the product change email:
At peak times, we estimate that you'll get the following speeds on your line:
Download: 59 - 72Mb
Upload: 17 - 18Mb
Minimum Guaranteed Speed: 53.6Mb
I've carried out all the usual tests:
17070 QLT shows no noise on the line
the BT Wholesale speed test is returning around 18 - 20 Mbps down. Tested with a a wired connection, nothing else plugged in, wireless disabled, and into the test socket.
Looking through the router logs the only thing I can see of note is a series of PPPoE down/up overnight on the 4th and 6th October, not sure if that is enough to impact.

Help!
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Have you checked that your phone is working? One of the twe cores in the cable to your home can cause this. If so report a phone not broadband fault. Alternatively do a quiet line test by ringing 17070 then option 2. Again if noisy report a phone fault.

Sorry to hear you've recently been experiencing issues with your upload speed.
I've had a look over the account and spotted something that was incorrect. If you disconnect and reconnect, your speeds should be back to normal.
Apologies for any inconvenience this caused.

Many thanks for your swift fix.
