Internet always dropping out

My internet connection has been dropping out intermittently for the last few weeks. The drops happen at random sometimes every 10 minutes sometimes every hour but always multiple times a day, and the drops last for 1-5 minutes and no devices including iphones or laptops can connect to the internet. Whilst the internet has dropped the broadband light on the router is a solid green and the wifi light is still flashing green however the "internet" light will be absent or red until the connection resumes. I have been through the basic checks of checking the phone line the micro filter and the master socket and they seem to be working fine. I was wondering if a member of plusnet staff could help as this is very infuriating and I will have to change internet provider if this continues.
Can anyone help with this issue or has had a similar issue that needs resolved.
Cheers, Rory

getting the same problem been using using plus just over a week as I just joined and not impressed at all.
Running speedtests via ofcom's site and the results speak for themselves. I will monitor this for a few more days, if there is no improvement, then I will take them to ofcom
