I've had ongoing issues with slow speeds since joining Plusnet last year after a house move, but the *third* visit from a BT engineer had finally seemed to have fixed the problem to the extent I was getting a reasonably consistent speed of 9/10mbs (which for the ASDL only available was ok).
However, since a couple of weeks ago the speeds have consistently been dropping down in the evenings below the MGALS of 3mb/s. There is a huge difference between 10 and 3 mb/s, especially when streaming anything.
Each BT visit to date, including the last two entering the property, had confirmed the issues were external each time. After reporting the latest issue at the start of January, I've had mixed messages in terms of whether there is high resistance problem or not, and slightly frustrated at being asked to go back and check whether it's the router, microfilter and so on. I'm not entirely sure why my equipment might only be causing problems between certain times, and then fine at others (but any pointers on that would be welcome). I've tried two different routers, which made no difference to the speed, different cables and microfilters. None of which I've had for more than six months. All the tests are through a wired connection into the test socket.
I can get 10mb/s at 6.00pm, which drops to 4-5mb/s by 7pm, then 2-3mb/s or lower by 8pm. By the time you get to mighnight, the speed is back up to 10mb/s.
Given other people seem to be having similar issues in the evenings, any thoughts would be appreciated!
