Egregious performance, random downtime

Since renewing my contract my broadband speeds have tanked considerably.

For the first few weeks I ignored the issue as there tends to be a settling in time with DLM. But my speeds have not improved and honestly seem to degrade more over time. The issue has just passed 4 weeks ongoing now.

From my account page my speeds are stated as followed;

Product:  Fibre
Estimated Download Range:  61 - 72Mbps
Estimated Upload Range:  17 - 18Mbps
Minimum Guaranteed Speed:  54.6Mbps
Current Line Speed (Download):  80Mbps

My download speeds vary Mbps wise from the low 20's to mid 30's. There have been instances when my download speeds have been well below 20 and a few occasions where its been in the high 30's. But it is far too inconsistent and I am nowhere near my estimated speeds and far below my minimum guaranteed ones. My upload speeds never climb over 7 Mbps.

I do not have a phone line with this package so dialling 17070 to check line faults is of no use as I have seen it mentioned in several other posts.

The router is connected to the master socket (Only socket in the property.) There are no powerline adapters or Wi-Fi boosters or anything else being used.

I have also check through Ofcoms availability checker along with a few other sources and can confirm the highest speeds in my property theoretically should be 80/20 Mbps.  

Attached are sceenshots of speedtest taken via LAN with no devices connected through WiFi or LAN (no apps, games etc are running in the background). over roughly a 96 hour period
 
On top of this I am met with random spots of my internet dropping entirely. And as stated above my speeds were much higher prior to renewing.
 
EDIT: Added screenshots of BT Broadband Availability Checker and Helpdesk Data from the router

Re: Egregious performance, random downtime

Your Hub One help page shows the sync speed below your Minimum Guaranteed Speed so I would raise a fault using this link

https://www.plus.net/help/report-a-problem/broadband/ 

The repeated line drops suggests you have a fault outside of your property

Re: Egregious performance, random downtime

Hi @Grizzlemethis I'm sorry you're getting these slow speeds. I've run a test and found a fault where an engineer is needed to visit the property. Can you drop me a private message and I can get this organised for you.
