I'm a little confused here about my plusnet package which is costing me £21.99 a month, what the differance between plusnet pro & plusnet extra packages towards mine, also is this what speeds i should be getting on my package D/Load 463Kbps/Up/L 351Kbps or should i be getting better than this

Just had a look at your account and you are on ADSL2+ and would normally get considerably faster speeds. At the moment your line has been banded (restricting the sync rate) because of poor connectivity. How is your router set up? Are you connected using extension leads/sockets? Ideally to rule out your internal wiring we would need you to plug your filter directly into the test socket and try to stabilise the line. Once we have done that I can see if the line remains stable and I can lift the banding which will increase your speed.
Below are your connections since 1st January

I spoke to [mremoved] yesterday and he told me to change my wireless channel on my router, as this would sort out my limited connectivity problem, its now on channel 2, seem to be better but not 100% as i got the same issue later, does thie mean i have to try all the channels up to number 13 to find the right one, why does the automatic channel finder not do this

If you download Inssider from here (click the large button assuming your computer runs Windows). Run it, select the 2.4GHz tab and click Start; this will show you wireless networks in the vicinity, and whether yours overlaps, helping you make an informed choice of channel.

As you haven't said, I don't know what package you're currently on. You can compare packages in terms of traffic shaping and prioritisation (including legacy packages that aren't sold anymore, but which you may still be on) with this tool:

It may be the banding that is making the line more stable. There have still been a couple of unexplained drops since the other day though.

Changing your wireless channel should not reboot your router.

Yes it does. It's listed as "Legacy: Premier Option 1" in the drop-down menus. The drop-down menus show "Please select a product..." when you first visit the page - you have to click on the little triangle/arrow just to the right, which drops down the menu listing possible Plusnet broadband packages. If you do this on the left-hand drop-down menu and click on "Legacy: Premier Option 1", and then on the right-hand drop-down menu and click on "Plusnet Pro", you can compare the two packages side by side.
