Very bad upload speed

My upload speed is horrible tonight. I've tested from two Ethernet connected devices with the same results.

I have rebooted my HFC NBN device as well as my own router with no change other than getting a new IP address each time.

I also tested against tpg.speedtestcustom.com with the same results.

I'm on the 100/20 plan.

 

Can I get somebody to look at this please?

Fault 11255640 logged for this.

It is still bad as at 4pm this afternoon. You can see from the photo below that my packet loss has been pretty bad since the 27th Feb and is ongoing until now. This is testing from my network to tpg www.

Hi,

So I received a txt saying that the technician had been cancelled and the problem has been fixed. I beg to differ.

It is clear that there is still a problem and it's been there since the 27th. This is affecting my ability to work from home properly since video conferencing performance is terrible with the packet loss. There's two months left on my contact, and at this point it's pretty much a guarrantee that I will be going elsewhere.

 

I'm also still only getting half of my advertised upload speed:
