Broadband doesn't get slower than this!

My telephone line is not the best and I've had speed and connection problems in the past with MAAF and yourselves (although I've not pursued it with PlusNet thus far). All sorts of fixes were tried when I was with MAAF including BT visits but nothing was found internally that would affect the connection. The attached recent history shows the fluctuations in speed. Any thoughts or action would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ivor

You'll see from the pic that there's been a few disconnections which have caused your profile to drop. Have a look here for some tips on troubleshooting this.

As previously mentioned I've done all the master socket stuff in the past, had MAAF try all sorts of adjustments and had BT engineers here twice where no internal faults were found. Is there anything you can do to give the system a bit of a boost from your end?
Thanks
Ivor

It's a Thomson 585v7 router going into the main socket via a filter. There are no extension sockets or cables, no Sky, no alarms. The phone part of the splitter is connected to a BT Response 50 answer machine and a Panasonic cordless base station. Router runs wirelessly. I use a Mac mini running 10.6.8.

Have you checked if you can see a change in the noise margin when you use the phone or when the phone is ringing for an incoming call?
Cordless phones have been known to cause problems (particularly when the base station is near to the router). Have you an old wired phone you could use for a bit to see if that stops the disconnects?

I would say you should raise a fault. I did, however, notice that you did start to raise one earlier but it looks like you also closed it. I can only imagine that you selected the option that says 'my broadband is now working'

Yes I answered the question wrongly as you guessed and then gave up!

There is a wired phone connected to the BT answerphone - a BT Relate 2100. The cordless base station is several feet away Can I raise this problem as a fault from here or do I need to speak to support?
Cheers
Ivor
PS: I'm really happy to be using a Mac
