Hi,
For months now our connection has been awful, frequently dipping to just 2 down and 0.5 up, it'll stay like this for hours until we reset the modem. I have replaced the modem with a TPLink one thinking it was the plusnet router but it's still doing the same thing. I thought the modem might be struggling with too many wireless connections but the same thing happens with wifi turned off and on a wired connection.
Can anyone at plusnet take a look?

Thanks for your post @DoctorPunkRat
I'm sorry to see you're having issues with your fibre speed.
Running a line test is showing what's known as a bridge tap which is generally a wiring issue. Is your router plugged into the master telephone socket with no extension cabling between the socket and the router?
If that's the case, could you raise a fault to us at faults.plus.net and in the notes box at the end, please add your availability for an engineer visit to investigate further. The available timeslots are weekdays (and occasionally Saturday's) 8am to 1pm, or 1pm to 6pm. This means we'll be able to arrange an engineer straight away once we've picked the fault up.
Feel free to post back if you need further help or once you've raised the fault and we'll be happy to make sure that is picked up as soon as we can. I've also noticed that we hadn't automatically changed your account to fibre our side when your fibre order completed, so I've changed it across now. This wouldn't have affected your service itself though.

Thanks, yes it is plugged directly into the incoming line without an extension, I have raised a fault as suggested!

Thanks a lot for getting back to us and for raising the fault on your account. just one more thing if that's okay, please can you pop a comment on the open ticket advising when you'd be available for an engineer appointment?
Once you've done that, respond to this message and I'll get this picked up as soon as instead of waiting for our Tech Support team to action the account.
