Re: Speed/profile issue

It tests fine at the moment. Are you getting these speeds on a wired or wireless connection?

Re: Speed/profile issue

What gateway are you on?  Check at http://usertools.plus.net/@gateway/.
I have issues with streaming when connected to the BNG gateways but not the AG gateways. On BNG I was also seeing a drop in the download speed into the mid 60's too.

Re: Speed/profile issue

Sometimes the gateway which your router connects to, causes speed issues as the path varies from your premises to each gateway. It is always worth knowing which gateway you are on and if you see speed related issues, it can be worthwhile using the router to disconnect and then connect to see if a new gateway solves it. Your power cycle did that for you.
To see the number of users on each gateway for the last 24 hours look at  http://portal.plus.net/support/service/network_performance/broadband_bandwidth_usage.shtml towards the bottom of the page.
So I guess it is just having that information to hand as it can help Plusnet identify issues if lots of people all complain about the loss of speed on the same gateway. For you, looking for patterns in the long term use so that when comparing speed tests, you can see if a particular gateway has some bearing on the results. I know that my results vary a lot by gateway.
