Slow Fibre download speeds

Hi,
Over the past couple of days i've noticed a significant drop in the download speed i'm getting.  The speed I originally got was around 38mbps but at the moment I barley get 14mbps.
I've ran the bt wholesale speed test and the results are as below.
Can anyone please take a look to see what's happening?
Many thanks,
Rick

Re: Slow Fibre download speeds

Hi,
Thanks for the response.  I tried the further diagnostics but get the message "The Performance Tester is currently unable to run a speed test for your broadband connection. Please try again shortly, however if this problem persists, raise the issue with your service provider."
I was originally getting a rate of 38mbps when Fibre was first installed.

Re: Slow Fibre download speeds

no idea if something is broke between BT and plusnet , but i can't do the " further diagnostics" either , it was working last night because i used it to show my neighbour ... but since this morning i have unlimited " disconnection" , drop in speed , maybe related to the advanced test not working , according to plus net " no issue reported " , i don't believe that , too many post on forum about disconection, and speed drop... but hey we are the sheep .... all we can do is wait

Thanks for trying on your end.  Seems a shame this is happening.  Hopefully someone from Plusnet will be able to advise, but as you say there are a lot of people complaining about slow speeds at the moment.

Re: Slow Fibre download speeds

Are you using a wireless or a wired connection?

Re: Slow Fibre download speeds

You could try making a direct connection to the BT modem (I am assuming you have a separate modem and router).
This would eliminate the router as being an issue.
Instructions are here...

Re: Slow Fibre download speeds

Phone exchange:
    DIPTON
Estimated line speed:
    80Mb (Download speed could vary depending on line conditions. Estimates are the maximum speeds that your phone line can support. These speeds are dependent on the package you choose.)
Current line speed:
    80 Mb
These are my stats shame im not getting anywhere near them.
