And one final update after a drop at 4am this morning.
So I may well renew my contract now.
I don't recall ever seeing the D/L figures this high.

@SteveA I'm also on Plusnet Fibre extra and my current results are very much like yours.
Look at this image from a wired test this morning and it may give you some idea of how you compare with the IP standard benchmarking and your local area (I'm in south London).

Having done everything, I can try, and as Plusnet were unwilling to give me a new hub, to try, I purchased a BT Smarthub 6, to try a new router on my line.😉 and got improved download AND upload speeds, by around 10%!
Whilst exploring the setting on my new BT Smarthub 6 on a Plusnet Account, I see these setting, which seem to imply that my download and upload speeds are limited.
Is there anyway to adjust them, to reflect the Plusnet Contract of Fibre Unlimited Extra, that I have been paying for, for the last 11 months? (See extract of BT Smarthub 6 on my Plusnet Account)

@Leapy I wouldn't complain too much as your data rates, which are your actual sync speeds are above the Maximum Data rates. The Max data rates are calculated by the modem so are not likely to be that accurate and depend on various line conditions.
What is rather suspicious is your upstream is exactly 10Mbps which may suggest it is banded (capped) at that speed, have you ever had a higher upstream speed?

@RealAleMadrid I'm on Fibre Extra which was an 80mb down 20mb up. I did get 66mb down and 15mb up for a very short while, during the change from Fibre to Fibre Extra, and it went, before Openreach replaced all the cooper ground wires with fibre from the green cabinet to the telegraph pole outside. So, I was hoping it would get better and 80/20 was a possibility.
When that groundwork was done, Openreach told me I could now get a contract on FFTHP of 1Gb down and 200mb up on their new lines! (see earlier posting images 3 weeks ago on this thread Friday 10th July, when the download was under 40mb on the Plusnet One hub)

One thing that my posts through this thread would seem to suggest is that the PN Hub One (or the one I had at least) isn't actually very good.
Since I upgraded to the VR600 and had the DLM reset my speeds are now significantly faster than they ever have been with the H1
On 10/7 that download profile was

PlusNet is a "value" ISP and their router reflects this. However, I suspect it works for most people (it does for me).
It is actually a rebadged BT HH5 - they have moved on to a "SmartHub" after the HH6 so they are two routers ahead of PlusNet.

@bmc - yes it was working for me, but obviously far from optimally. But it does make you wonder if some of the speed problems people are having are not down to their line but down to the H1.

@SteveA @bmc @RealAleMadrid @Tibzor @Browni I just thought you might like to see the difference just switching hubs has made to my Fibre Extra speeds 😀 Who knows, one day my up speed may be in double digits and as high as 10mbps
Plusnet just told me my line is "at its limit". Maybe it just needs a reboot or resetting?
