NowTV Quality Issues

I have 80/20 fibre with sync speeds of 79987 Kbps / 20000 Kbps and wireless download speeds of 72Mb/s.
I am using a plusnet supplied MediaAccess TG589vn v3 however recently when watching NowTv using the NowTv box the picture quality is terrible.
Can anyone from plusnet check to see if this is a plusnet issue as trying it on my friends talktalk line 20Mb/s ADSL results in good quality video, not the 600KB/s i get on my plusnet fibre!
I have checked wireless channels and the NowTV box is right next to the router so that hasnt changed either, but it would appear that something has somewhere and the only thing I can think of is my ISP.
Grateful for any help and advice

Is there some speed check you can do on NowTV?

What about resetting your NowTV box (push the reset button on the back)? The other thing to try is setting the DNS to say google (8.8.8.8) on the Now TV box.
I've had issues in the past with Sky's On Demand services, but it's been their end.

NowTV is apparently just a Roku with some features (especially Netflix) locked out.
See if you can load this app: https://www.rokuchannels.tv/speedtest/ ;
Not sure if it will work with a NowTV, or if it will work in the UK, but could be a useful diagnostic if it does.

You are saying you used the same NOWTV box on the same TV when you were with a different ISP and the TV quality was better with your previous ISP?

I watch NOWTV a lot and have never had any major problems in 18 months.
