Sounds bad ghostrider - why not let us into a few secrets like have you reported the problems and if so, what has been done?
There are a lot of very knowledgeable people here who might be able to help if you let them know the background.

Resyncs are nothing to do with Plusnet..
You have a line problem which will follow with any BT line based supplier you until you identify the problem .

Hi Ghostrider,
As has been mentioned, we have no control over your resyncs, but hopefully we can help you to get them fixed. They're also extremely likely to be the cause of your poor speeds.
Looking at your connection though, it doesn't look that bad and there aren't that many resync events. What details are you able to get from your router? Does it show an error log of the reconnection events?

Sounds like it will be a long 18mths.
Shame you don't want to get your issue sorted, it might have made the time pass faster if you could spend it on the internets.
C'est la vie. etc.

and with a bit of luck, when they get to their new ISP, they will find they have the same problem and it wasnt PN

@ghostrider - a few points.
1. As has already been mentioned, resyncs are nothing to do with Plusnet - they will either be your own internal wiring (90% of the time) or it will be a BT fault on the line (10% of the time). If you havent raised a fault, you should do so at http://faults.plus.net. ; Yes, there are a lot of steps to go through, but these are to ensure that BT Openreach do not charge you their standard £extortion fee to come and visit.
2. Having multiple resyncs will drop your IP Profile - which is again controlled by BT. This is likely the cause of your bad download speeds. See point #1 for how to fix.
3. 60ms ping is likely because Interleaving has been applied to your line in an attempt to fix your shoddy connection. See point #1 for how to fix.
4. Posting your router stats (US/DS sync, noise margin and attenuation) will allow forum members to assist you in determining exactly where your fault lies.
5. If you continue posting with that attitude, I wll personally remove your privileges to even visit this board. Whilst I understand you are frustrated, there is absolutely no necessity to take it out here, without giving people the chance to assist you. I suggest you stop with the gobbing off, and perhaps do something constructive that will *fix* your internet issues. See point #1.

Hear Hear, Barry.
@ghostrider. Don't be hasty, let PN assist you by posting your stats and going through the faults procedure, you will find that lots of people here are extremely helpful and you will get your problems sorted. I can speak from experience, I have had faults with my connection and speeds but PN have sorted them all out for me, which is something that my previous ISP failed to do. Take a deep breath and let PN staff and members help you, you will be glad you did and at the end of your contract you will not want to leave.

Listen mate i have done something constructive by posting on this forum,i have also contacted tech support,said they were going to call back and guesss what ... yip you got no call ... no suprise there then,and my sync has not dropped once since phone call,COINCIDENCE or not ?? so please yourself remove my privileges then that makes people think your hiding the truth does it not .... i only come on here to voice my opinion if you don't want people to come on and rant and rave in a forum that is for ranting and raving remove it totally .... take care Barry ...
Also my line does not have interleaving on so the 60ms + ping times are a disgrace in every sense of the word !!

Out of interest is that your view on all Plusnet customers or just Barry in particular?

Re: Exellent month again with Plusnet !!

ghostrider — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 20:29:37 GMT

No mate just Barry , prolly some PN customers are in the same boat as me ... but i will not put up with people like that its in my nature to fire back ... can't help myself unfortunatly so if any other PN customers are offended im sorry as this was not my intention at all ....

Yes, ghostrider. it does offend me to see nasty comments like yours aimed at people who are just trying help - they don't deserve this, especially Barry who is very knowledgeable and spends free time trying to help people.
You can help yourself ghostrider - unless there is some underlying mental health problem, we all have the ability to control our behaviour - it's called self-discipline and giving things a bit of thought before we fire off!
If you posted with the intention of having a rant and didn't want any help, it would have been prudent to say so then people wouldn't have got involved in the first place and made you angry. This would have been a more honest approach and would have prevented all this negativity.

When I post I usually click 'Preview' to check appearance, spelling etc. This procedure also gives my time to review whether or not I wish to proceed with the post.
Sometimes I have clicked the 'back' button, sometimes clicked 'Post'.
Maybe if ghostrider had considered his post before clicking 'Post' this situation could have been avoided.
Probably academic now though but a thought for the future.
