Been monitoring this for a little while now and I have noticed that I have lost about 13mbps off my connection.
I have had the fibre now for over two years and it was consistently delivering 74mbps download but in the last few months this has dropped to 61mbps. I dont think anything in my home infrastructure has changed, router, network, pc all the same.
Testing has been done from a PC cabled to the router with the tests consistently undertaken with SpeedTest.
Any recommendations for anything I can test at this end, or is there anything obvious on the plusnet end as to why the drop?
Other than the speed increase the connection is fine, good ping, consistent bandwidth etc etc just slower than it was previously...

Your not the only one mate....I'm the same as you. They say it's crosstalk and they also say it's because your line was over performing before lmfao......bull if you ask me...take 10-13Mb/s off 5 or 6 people and we can sling another customer onto fibre....GREED is the cause..

There's nothing obvious on our end. In fact tests are indicating that you are still syncing at 79.9mbps/19.9mbps.
Have you been using BT Wholesale's speedtest?

Ill try that now MattyC.
same thing:
Its consistent, its just lower...
-edit-
Just as a follow up I thought I would test my internal network speed to see if there is an issue there however this is operating as expected (over gigabit ethernet)
Measured using Lan Speed Test lite: http://www.totusoft.com/lanspeed1.html
Any suggestions?

Funny - I'm another one who has lost just over 10mbs - no internal network changes either - It appears plusnet may have been shaving off our connections since March / April this year if you look at my monitoring stats.
This chart represents my daily average downstream between June 2013 and June 2015. (Not attached my upstream as that has remained constant pretty much throughout)
