Then go to see what https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed says is you current line speed - it should be the same.
If it isn't ring Plusnet and ask for your current line speed to be set to match your IP Profile (they can do that immediately). Any problems post the results here and one of the Comms team will do it for you.

Download speedachieved during the test was - 2300 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :5152 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 2500 Kbps
plusnet portal is only saying 4000
Like i said i was getting 5.5mb even on unlimited, switched to pro and was getting the same.. Why has it now dropped by so much

If this is due to a one-off event it should revert to somewhere at or above 4000 in a few days.
Keep your router turned on all the time for now and check all those figures every day, maybe twice a day.

That Plusnet profile implies it was set when the sync speed was in the range 4544-5088kbps, and will probably have dropped to match BT's IP Profile of 2500kbps now. That profile implies you previously synced in the range 2848-3392kbps. Sync speed is set by the connection to your exchange, and Plusnet have no control over that.
However having a high ping implies a fault somewhere in the system, and possibly interleaving has been turned on by the DLM due to perceived line instability.

I wouldn't expect pings that high even with a low profile, can you run a wireshark capture and attach it to a ticket so we can make sure your gaming is prioritised correctly?

Ping is slightly better today, but no where near what i was getting
This is a brand new house, that i have lived in for 3 months, and since i arrived ive been getting between 5.2 and 5.5mb for the whole time, so why now has it dropped? Im less than half a mile from my exchange as well..
And tbh i dont have time to do the whole wireshark thing
I also refuse to phone and pay for more help as this is the 3rd problem ive had with plusnet in around 7 months

You need to identify why your router synced at a lower speed causing your IP Profile to be reduced.
Is there ever any background noise when you use the phone? If your router works with RouterStats or RouterStats Lite I'd recommend you run that to keep an eye on the noise margin.

The BT speed test you've posted proves that everything is working exactly as it should on the Plusnet side - 2308 is a good speed for someone with an IP profile of 2500.
If you want us to help please describe your setup with regards to all the phone sockets (what's in where), where you have filters, your router. Also if you could answer my question about background noise on the line.
Edit: Just found your last post after I'd typed this.

If you could describe your setup we'll set about trying to discover why those are happening - running routerstats if your router is one that is supported would be good.
Edit: Your attenuation suggests you should be able to sync at the full 8MB.

After i made a complaint in the old house, the problem was sorted almost by magic overnight, with no change to the set up
Phone socket - filter - router supplied phone cable - router
I appreciate the help, but i dont think it has anything to do with my set up, unless its a router problem
