slow fibre speed for last week or so in evenings

Hi Guys
Have been having issues with my fibre speed being really slow in the evening for probably the last week or so.I have to reset my router and then the speed seems to return to normal and stays there.Is it worth raising a fault on it or could one of the plusnet team members have a look at my line stats?
thanks
chris
This is my speed after reseting

Can you go through the faults checker at https://faults.plus.net so we can do some more digging and see what's going on.

Re: slow fibre speed for last week or so in evenings

just opened a fault ticket up for this.It is very intermittent but the speed drops right down to 1 or 2 Mbs until I reset the router then it jumps back up to normal speed(50Mbs)This can last for a little while but then can sometimes drop off again
Many Thanks

It's odd that a reboot bring the speeds back, if it was caused by SVLAN capacity that's not what I'd expect to see really.

Re: slow fibre speed for last week or so in evenings

Yup seeing it here as well. I'm connected to the Brackley exchange and my evening speed test now typically looks like this:

As opposed to this from a month ago:

and this morning is good:

Note that all tests are performed using an Ethernet connection.
I'm connected via pcl-bng04.
I think my line is good. There's never anything much on my TBBQM (aside from a couple of brief packet loss spikes last week that I think are common to most PN connections).

Re: slow fibre speed for last week or so in evenings

Here's my last 7 days downstream recorded by SamKnows. It is a bit more variable than usual but not drastic...

However there does seem to be a definite change in 2015...

I'm in northampton on the Hardingstone exchange if that has any relevance.

Re: slow fibre speed for last week or so in evenings

An interesting result tonight:

Single thread hanging around 20Mb/s, multi-thread runs at full speed over three times as fast. That reminds me of a problem I had with IDNet a couple of years ago that turned out to be a mis-configured router at their end.

Re: slow fibre speed for last week or so in evenings

Are you connected wired or wireless? Are the speed issues at specific times of the day or all the time?
