My fibre speed is very slow - I'm on the up to 76mbps package but I rarely get close to 30mbps since I moved over from BT.
I rather naively assumed Plusnet was providing me with what I had paid for - to the point of replacing my home hub 5 with a BT openreach modem connected to a brand new ASUS AC87U router. I'm sitting 5 feet away from the router now and the speed is just hovering at 30mbps (when I was with BT directly it never went below 56mbps - and that was at it's lowest, it was usually in the 70-71mbps range).
I really need you to look at my line and get my speed back up to what I was getting with BT. If you can't do that, then I need you to "make it right" in terms of the service I have paid for but not received, and let me out of my contract so I can get my broadband back up and running properly.
Please let me know if you need more information from me.

I ran it a couple of times, 46 was the highest (36 was the second highest, the standard test maxed at 30mbps).

For the sake of checking a few sources I just ran the test at www.broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk, which connected to a server in Maidenhead, and gave me a result of 80.35 Mb/s. Surely that isn't possible? (Upload 27Mb/s).
Confused now

Lol that website is garbage.
Totally accurate
Stick with ThinkBroadband or better yet don't use any speedtest which is flash based as at the end of the download/upload they usually spike and give you something innacurate.

Hi there,
If your speeds are consistently below the estimates we provided for your line I'd strongly recommend reporting this to us as a fault. Without doing so there's little we can do to help, you can report faults directly to us at https://faults.plus.net
