I have Full Fibre 145 and contract states I should be getting 30mbps upload, but I'm only getting 20. The download speed is fine and at 145mbps.
I have rebooted router and BT box but still the same. Is there anything I can do or configure on the router?
Edit to add:
I have tested on a mobile and tablet and the results are the same. Even right next to the router.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

@Notoriousxx I'm not certain on Full Fibre, but I do know on ADSL/FTTC the upload speeds are 'best effort', and are not guarantees.

I am wondering if there may be a setting I need to tweak, or perhaps change to a different channel on the router?

As I said, the upload is 'best effort' and not a guarantee - there are various factors which can affect it, but I admit I cannot explain them - you need someone with greater knowledge for that.
From my experience, there is nothing on the Hub which will affect this, and no change of channel will increase it.

@Notoriousxx are your tests wired ( ethernet ) or wireless ?
and which speedtester are you using ? the BTwholesale one is notoriously inaccurate
To get an accurate result to determine if a problem exists with the connection, do a wired test using the Ookla tester ( speedtest.net )

@Notoriousxx in any of your contract documents, emails, etc for your FTTP service, does it show anywhere what your line identifier is ?, this is typically named "BBEU" or "Broadband Service ID", and appears in the format "BBEUnnnnnnnn".
If you know your BBEU number, then I can show you how to find the Openreach upload profile that has been provisioned on your line, and check whether it has been set to 30Mbps or 20Mbps (the latter would explain your speed test result).
If you can't find your BBEU, it would be worth asking Plusnet Support to let you know what it is, for future line testing.

The contract summary document I received says estimated upload 30mb - 30mb and no lower...
As above - it says estimated - not guaranteed.

@Notoriousxx were your wireless speed tests done on 2.4GHz or 5GHz WiFi ?

In my experience, providing the machine doing the speed test is capable and the local environment i.e wifi is capable , then FTTP goes at the provisioned speeds.
Running a wired speed test, if possible, eliminates most most of the variables
