Constant Disconnects.

I've been getting randomly disconnected over the last 2 weeks, it started off once or twice and now is around 10-20 times a day, I get disconnected and have to run the windows troubleshooter to fix the issue, basically it finds and error an resets the router.
After this happens a few times, the troubleshooter can't fix it  and I have to turn the router off and on again to get it working.
Any suggestions where to start looking ? Nothing has changed concerning how and what is plugged in, things have been fine for the last couple of months this has just started happening in the last few weeks.
Here's me stats...

Re: Constant Disconnects.

Although not as frequent, this is what has started happening to me.

Re: Constant Disconnects.

More noticeably peak times for me, I work online freelance so generally work unsociable hours, the early hours of the morning are pretty trouble free.

Re: Constant Disconnects.

Seems to have eased off, I've only had one disconnect today, I'm making a conscious effort to log when it happens.
Just checked my network logs and I've had 116 disconnects since the 6th of this month.
edit: nope I read it wrong it's actually 58.

Re: Constant Disconnects.

@ramissin
According to our logs you've been connected for 4 days, this means there may be some brief drops on the "synchronisation" layer so please keep an eye on it and head over to http://faults.plus.net if that becomes a problem again.
@Keith_Owen
I can see a couple of drops over the past few days but nothing obvious.

Re: Constant Disconnects.

Seems to be a common thing. i opened a ticket couple of weeks ago. was "fixed" but now just as bad. Always in the evening always at the time i want to do some online gaming. Conveniently it started not long after tying myself in for 12 months.

@Jap2Uk
I can see our Faults team have it in hand. You should have a response by the end of the day.

Thanks, but I can't be bothered with the "faults" runaround, like I already said, nothing has changed on my end, and the disconnects are pretty random, they're much less now than they were before, without me actually doing anything.

Re: Constant Disconnects.

Again, curiously echoing my own experience.
Though I have done some things - stripped back everything so there is currently nothing BUT the BT Test Socket and BT wiring involved - nothing else.
But the speed dropped even further due to now being on a 9dB NM. I am beginning to wish this auto line management gizmo could just be removed, then, whatever the situation, we would at least know where we are moment to moment.

Re: Constant Disconnects.

@pvmb, yup it "feels" like there are instability issues with the network, for "whatever" reason, it doesn't merit the "more technical than it really needs to be" runaround with the faults dept.

Peak time and the disconnects have returned.

Re: Constant Disconnects.

So if you are not prepared to start the form fault reporting process just what do you expect to happen to have the fault resolved?  Resolution starts with the formal reporting of a fault using the trouble shooter referred to by Chris.  See the links below for speed issues and the bb fault reporter - they will help you move your issue forwards.

If there are issues in a line which have not been reported for investigation, you are going to experience either slower speed having greater stability or instability at a higher synch speed having more error events and thus a slower effective data speed.
The DLM manages a problematic line for stability by raising the DLM.  If you want a lower SNRM, then the phone or bb fault process needs to be followed in ful to progress matters.
