Re: Slow broadband and occasional drops

Just got told by Plusnet that my problem has been resolved.
This is my router report 10 minutes ago:



Home
Basic Settings
Advanced Settings
Helpdesk

Your Plusnet adviser may ask you for the following information:
1 - Product name: Plusnet Router
2 - Serial number: N7183061B004860
3 - Firmware version: 7.275.11_F2704N_Plusnet
4 - Board version: F@ST2704N
5 - Mode ADSL
6 - Uptime: 0 days 00:42:42
7 - Data rate: 1235/6655
8 - Maximum data rate: 1236/20892
9 - Noise margin: 6.1/25.7
10 - Line attenuation: 8.1/17.0
12 - Data sent/received: 10.8M/45.4M

Speed is still bellow what I was getting before. Used to get between 13 and 16 Mbps and now doesn't go over 6.
I'll keep on monitoring the line to see if it improves in the next few days.

Thanks all for assistance and advice to date Smiley

Re: Slow broadband and occasional drops

Simple answer to that Plusnet claim, @Mjan is - RUBBISH. Your stats are no better than those provided yesterday. Go back and ask them to recheck.

@MatthewWheeler - can you help?

Re: Slow broadband and occasional drops

Thanks for getting back to us @Mjan.

As per what @jab1 has said I'm not 100% convinced that the issue is resolved but I've lifted the banding on the line which should help increase the speeds.

Can you monitor it over the next couple of days to see if the drops continue?

Re: Slow broadband and occasional drops

Can you please post your router stats again - they are the litmus test of what’s really happening on your line. You are looking for the DS noise margin to be circa 6dB.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Re: Slow broadband and occasional drops

Hey guys, I'm back again.

Everything seemed to be going well and the speeds have been good but, today, I got disconnected from the internet at least 4 times, so far.

Here's the latest router report if anyone can see any issues:


Your Plusnet adviser may ask you for the following information:
1 - Product name: Plusnet Router
2 - Serial number: N7183061B004860
3 - Firmware version: 7.275.11_F2704N_Plusnet
4 - Board version: F@ST2704N
5 - Mode ADSL
6 - Uptime: 0 days 00:01:23
7 - Data rate: 1259/21599
8 - Maximum data rate: 1260/21560
9 - Noise margin: 6.3/3.1
10 - Line attenuation: 8.3/17.0
12 - Data sent/received: 1.8M/25.7M

This was taken 5 mins ago after the latest disconnection. The speeds seem to be ok when I test but online gaming has been a little glitchy.

Thanks for any help Smiley

Re: Slow broadband and occasional drops

Just to update my post from last night, this morning, my internet has disconnected another 3 to 4 times so far.
Could you do a quick test on my line to check if there's any problems, please?
