and here is my speed test from today
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/button/14057...


I have phoned customer support and was told there was nothing that can be done as my speed is "around the estimated speed"

I have had a stable connection for 8 months with the first speed
What can I do?

Quite a significant drop. Probably worth running the BT wholesale speedtest at http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/ and including 'Further Diagnostics', which will narrow down a bit where the slowdown is. (I'm 99% sure this is relevant for PlusNet and other FTTC ISPs as well as for BT retail). If you've got an unlocked modem post the stats from that.

Also run a quiet line test (17070 option 2 with a wired analog phone) to see if there is audio noise on the phone line. If there is, that should be fixed by your phone provider, which may well allow your broadband speed to improve.

If you are lucky the slowdown was due to some noise blip; in that case it will improve again all by itself over a week or three.
