Again , again and again!

Seriously I'm wound up now! Just lost another very important online game due to another disconnect. This is utterly ridiculous.

Had the odd disconnect when with BT but this is just another level of stupidiness. I've kept calm up until now but now I've had enough.

Someone who has direct contact with Plusnet Escalation team get a manager to phone me today.

I think you might have been experiencing the same disconnections as me.

I've been getting disconnected for 30-120 second
2 - 8 times each month
Always around 11pm or midnight
For the last 3 years

I was hoping upgrading to the Hub Two would help resolve the problem but it's still happening.

@freezey have you reported a fault to us?

If not, I would suggest this as a sensible first step so that somebody can take a better look at what might be happening.

Sorry, there's been a problem in reporting the broadband issue.

We're sorry there's an issue with your Full Fibre broadband service. Please fill in the form and try again.Click here to proceed.

@freezey something not right there, PlusNet have only been supplying Full Fibre for a few months.

Are you trying to report an FTTC fault ? looks like you've got the wrong link

Re: Again , again and again!

I just used the link I was given.

Currently I'm on "Unlimited Fibre Extra"

I was out of contract so I upgrade a few weeks ago hoping the issues were caused by my very old HubOne router, but I'm still getting them.

This is an example log extract at the time it happens:

It's been happening for years but they're momentary outages and since I don't play competitive gaming it's not caused me significant issue, just comments from my friends mocking PlusNet when I drop out of our games/chat/watch parties.

But I've been meaning to get it on it and try to resolve it once and for all so I think I'll go for it this time.

@bobpullen @MisterW do either of you have a working link to report a broadband issue?

I tried to find one but all broadband issues seem to re-direct me to that same FTTC page, which is broken.

I appreciate the help.

@freezey Use the 'troubleshoot by text' number as shown on the link Bob posted. The login option is only for Full fibre fault
