The Plusnet Fibre Router will not change in sync rate. Only the Openreach Modem if you rebooting it or turned it off. Never touch or rebooting Openreach Modem because this modem is still sync to the exchange to the cabinet to your end. Rebooting Plusnet Fibre Router will not AFFECT any sync rate but Plusnet fault team might see a fault on your line if u kept rebooting the Plusnet Fibre Router yourself.

It might be a good idea to reboot the modem well inside daylight hours.
It's possible there was a nearby thunderstorm that upset both it and the router.

We had thunderstorms three times since April and my FTTC doesn't affect at all. I guess it just a pure of luck. I know that during the thunderstorms, Openreach Modem and Fibre Router should be turned off during the storms. But, I never did!.
I have an Asus AC68U Router, and for whatever reason on wireless N and AC thats the speeds I was seeing. I didn't test ethernet. Rebooting the router certainly fixed the issue. Im not sure if it does anything to the fibre modem connection when rebooting or not but it certainly fixed the issue. Just done another speedtest when getting in and my download is at 68Mbps and my upload came in at 18.75Mbps the highest I've seen yet. Either way things are fine now. Not had any storms locally so I don't feel the need to restart the modem. Connection (websites) seem really snappy tonight.
Ah, that's a combined VDSL Modem/Router, isn't it, that you are using instead if the PN 2-box setup?
The RT-AC68U is an Ethernet WAN port router, but the DSL-AC68U would have a built in VDSL & ADSL modem.
If its the RT then a reboot would create a new PPPoE connection which will update any session bandwidth if the VDSL modem has renegotiated on the fly. (I've seen this happen - it seems like SRA is part of the VDSL spec).
