Slow Wifi, Bt reduced guaranteed speed I can get and no more superfast.

Hi, I live on Dartmoor but until recently was happy with Superfast Broadband from BT with c. 14-17mbps with a guarantee of either 14 or 11 (can’t 100% remember).

in the last 6 weeks or so, we have been experiencing buffering, slow speeds of 0.9-4mbps.

I intended to deal with it after Xmas but none of their diagnostic stuff would run as insufficient speed. I now have an engineer booked.

My question is, I now don’t have super-fast on my account and my speed is now only 9-10 with a guarantee of 8! All for £27.99a month. I wasn’t aware of this change and don’t know where I stand.

Getting it to 8 is my priority at the mo, but how can they previously guarantee more a d reduce it/withdraw what I am paying for with no notification.

Is anyone else in the same situation?
