New speed problem

Long term 40/20 user with static IP address.  Enforced switch to 55/10 eventually settled down with very steady speeds of 51~52 / 9.4-9.5 and very stable pings 16-20ms.  Recently pings have become more variable and now performance has fallen off with download speed under 38, upload unchanged.  iplayer has shown a tendency to hang which is a nuisance that used to be very rare.  Attached ping graph seems fairly typical

<a title="Broadband Ping" href="http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/share/a5b6449ecf78946240076118edbb5f5f-25-10-2016.html"><img alt="My Broadband Ping - RogerFibre" src="http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/share-thumb/a5b6449ecf78946240076118edbb5f5f-25-10-2016.png" /></a>

Suggestions please.

All looks fairly normal to me. Just a connection in use during the day and mostly idle at night. There's a small amount of packet loss around 2am but barely worth mentioning.

Re: New speed problem

Have you checked your IP Profile from a BT diagnostic speed test and the current line speed?

Fix

 
Testing your line isn't showing any problems. There was an incorrect setting on your account that I've now corrected, can you try a disconnect/reconnect of the router and see if the speeds improve?

Thanks Chris.  Normal service resumed.  Confirmed with BT speed test.

Prompt service much appreciated.
