Re: My Broadband connection

Have you raised a low speed fault at http://faults.plus.net? That will ask you to do the checks you've already done - up to you whether you repeat them again though you need to be plugged into the test socket for testing. Your line should be checked by the faults team once the report if submitted. If the speed recovers keep the ticket open until you are sure it won't re-occur. That will require you to submit a holding update to stop the ticket self-closing after 14 days.

Re: My Broadband connection

Hi Deadonaslab,
I see it was dropping a lot yesterday but seems to have been stable since about midnight. Did you make any changes to your set up at that time? Also, what are your speeds like at the moment?

Hi Deadonaslab,
I can't think what else it could be. I'd be interested to know what the faults team come up with.
