New to Plusnet with slow speeds and connection issues

Hello everyone, 

Hope someone can help, I have been a customer of plusnet for 3 weeks. With everything this is going on in the world, I like many of us are now working from home and I have been experiencing slow speeds and issues with video and voice calls. 

I have tried various speed test and I seem to be getting between 8-16mbps download and 6-10mbps upload speeds. 
I have tried using different wifi channels and even turned off 5 GHz Wireless to see if this would help. 

I see the following in the 'your broadband service' section:

Your broadband service

  • Product: Unlimited Fibre
  • Estimated Download Range: 38 - 40Mbps
  • Estimated Upload Range: 8 - 10Mbps
  • Minimum Guaranteed Speed: 30.9Mbps
  • Current Line Speed (Download): 36.4Mbps


Unfortunately, I can't connect using an ethernet cable as I don't have those ports on my laptop. 
I have even run the wireless diagnostics program on my Mac but wasn't sure what I was looking at when I got the results. 
On the same line when I was with Sky I would get 30-35Mbps. 

Hope to hear from someone soon. 

 

Many thanks
