My contract started 10th June, and for the past week or so connection speeds have dropped off considerably. In fact, since I made a complaint about something else. Service drops out completely everyday between 12 and 1am.
My download speed is currently less than 1.5mbps. I've included a screen shot of my latest speed test.
Is there anything else that can be done to bring back some speed?
TIA
EDIT: I have already tried restarting and resetting the router, all filters and wires are where they need to be. Phone dial tone is fine most of the time, but changes when service drops out around midnight.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

@cherrydoodles17 Welcome to the forums. For Community members to be able to help, information from these two sites:-
BT Broadband(obscuring your phone number) and BTW Performance Tester - Please report the 'Additional Diagnostics', and sight of the Help Desk tab would be a start.

Hi John, thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
I've attached the screen shots you've asked for. I've run the BTW Performance tester three times and keeps coming back saying the advanced test system is busy. I'll try again in half an hour or so.

@cherrydoodles17 Thanks for those two reports. The BT wholesale one (#2) shows a slight problem, although the last test date is a bit old, and the (#3) one is no use - not your fault, it just doesn't give a figure. I suspect the site must be under maintenance as you are not the only one to report that the additional diagnostics is failing.
Any chance of your Help Desk report as well, please? I'll have a look early tomorrow morning - my brain is getting old and tired now. 😉

Thank you.

@cherrydoodles17 Your router has the incorrect setup@plusdsl.net username, this can affect your speed, you need to change this to your actual username and password, I am not familiar with the Hub1 but I think you have to disconnect the broadband before changing the details and then re-connect.

Thank you!
I'm not up to the promised 44mbps yet, but at least I've hit double digits at 12mbps.
Hopefully this is the only fix needed, so this has solved my problem.

Morning @cherrydoodles17 . Now had I seen that before I went to bed, @RealAleMadrid wouldn't have beaten me to it.
Your connection speed is above the 44Mbps, so the low throughput speed is due to your local environment - nothing PN can do about that.
What type of master socket do you have? Can you please do a Quiet Line Test? - dial 17070 from a (preferably corded) phone, and select option 2. After the announcement of your phone number, you should hear total silence, apart from the regular 'Quiet Line Test' announcement. Any other noise at all and you need to report a PHONE fault.

I don’t have a corded phone, but I rang the number, selected option 2 and heard no other sounds. After some seconds, the line just said ‘quiet line test’ and then no other sounds, as you said.

OK - so no phone line errors then, which is good.
Please can we have another Help Desk picture, please?
And another 'Advanced Diagnostics' BT report - if you can get it to run?

@cherrydoodles17 Your Help Desk report says you are getting up and down connection speeds to your router within the profile, but your D/L actuals on that BT test are horrible. Is the testing over WiFi or ethernet cable? Could you run a test on Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test please, and see what you get?

Thanks for your post @cherrydoodles17
I'm sorry to see you're having issues with your connection. I've just been testing your line and the tests are showing your router's getting a download speed of 51mbps so I'd echo @jab1's comments on what to try next.

The SpeedTest.net I just ran on my iPhone, gave me 42.26 mbps.
