Good evening, last Tueday I filed a fault with our landline and it has since been repaired. Before the fix our internet speeds were as low as 0.5Mbps download, they are currently sitting at 7Mbps download on average which is better but not what we were experiencing a few weeks ago.
Usually we get around 24Mbps or above. Having 7Mbps isn't ideal in a house of 6 people. Would someone be able to take a look. Cheers
I've attached the current internet speeds as of writing this post along with the broadband availability checker from btwholesale. Hope it helps.

@nixkeller4 Can you post the Helpdesk tab from your router - something is decidedly dodgy here. Obscure/delete any personal details off that report, though.

Here is the helpdesk tag. I've looked at this before but struggle to understand a lot of this stuff.

Details of your current and expected speeds in the Member Centre might also help.

Still as before, then - low, but nowhere near 7Mb/s.

So it is not a line speed or profile problem.
Are you testing directly via ethernet?
Have you tried a PC and router reset?

That says the speed to your router is good , so there is something else at play here, don't quite know what and it is getting a bit late on a Sunday night for my ageing brain.
Unless someone else comes up with an idea, I'll have a think tomorrow. I seem to remember someone else having a similar problem recently, but don't recall the outcome.

Could the router maybe overheating?

Where is it, and does it fell excessively hot? That shouldn't affect your speeds like that, though.

It is hot to the touch. It's positioned on a shelf above a radiator so that's why I'm thinking it could be a heat issue.

Given the amount of traffic on your line over a short period of time can you run the Speedtest again when all other devices are disconnected ?

I can. I'm normally up until 3 and 4am most nights and from my experience thus far the speeds remain the same even at those times.

How are you checking your speed? It is essential that you test over an Ethernet connection to a computer to eliminate wireless issues.

I test my speeds on both ethernet and wireless devices and they are always similar.
