Significantly reduced speed (1.86 MB)

I've been suffering with slow speeds the last few days and I have just ran the BT Wholsale speed test and the results are below. Not sure where to go from here  Sad

Are the tests wired/wireless? What's your Current Line Speed here https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed ?
Which exchange are you on?

Hi
Can you try disconnecting/reconnecting from your router to see if that makes any difference?
If it makes no difference, can you run this test http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html and post the image of the result?

Hmm something is not right there.
Are the slow speeds all the time or just at peak times in the evening?

Re: Significantly reduced speed (1.86 MB)

Have you noticed any issues with the phone line (noise/static)? Is your phone line with Plusnet?
Do you have any other devices (even mobile) you can try to rule out an issue with your PC/laptop?

Phone line seems fine and its through BT.
I just tested again on the PC (wired) getting 0.63 down, on the missus laptop (wifi) were getting 39.09 but on her S5 were getting 68.33  Undecided

Re: Significantly reduced speed (1.86 MB)

It looks like an issue with your PC or router.
Have you got a firewall or anti-virus program running on your PC?
