Right from day one Ive had problems with bbci player but after BT did some work not so long ago the problem stoped. Unfortunately its started up again.
After doing the bbci diagnostic test (speedtest) its shows 14mb connection speed. Im running a ping test to bbc and bbci.co.uk with no problems and a ping of 10-11ms.
I have done a restart of my modem because after the storms we've been having, interleaving would seem to kick in and out of the blue id go from 7. to 8 mil HEC Errors over night.
I would like to highlight I only get high amounts of errors once in a blue moon. The road works in my area have finnished now and since then we have had storms but the errors will only or occur in bursts over a short amount of time maybe once or twice a month.
Other than the clear one second lag in bf3 with 11ping and bbci cutting out every other program seems to be working 120%.

Is that what you are getting, or just buffering issues?

At this point I'm thinking of buying a modem to force this snr. Plus the fix linked below dose not seem to work anymore for me, so I think a better rounter is in need.

I'll send you a Technicolor TG582n router out as you've not had that one for long. It normally takes 2-3 working days to arrive. Let us know how you get on with it.

open up task manager and open the network tab. there you can see the consistency of your connection while doing a download/test.
I turnned off the PRO addon because of this and nothing changed at all, as if to say the pro addon was doing nothing. I reported it in a ticket along with other things and was told "the pro addon dose not affect download speed".
"good honest broadband".

I hate cheap things. I'll happly spend over £100 on one knowing its not going to be a problem.
I would be more than happy to send this one back and remove it from my account so not to be charged if I end my contract. considering its not working as it should, I think its just fair I get a refund on the modem.

I would recommend that you give the Technicolor TG582n a try, I got one almost 3 weeks ago and it is a vast improvement over the previous Thompson routers.
My TG582n is giving me a Sync of 18000+ when all other routers I have tried have only ever managed a sync of 17000 at most.
The TG582n really is a great little router and is worth a go!
Also Jojo never mentioned anything about charging you for the TG582n!

There's no charge. I've sent it as a replacement of the one you already have.

unfortunately Im still seeing spikes in my connection. one thing that does stand out to me is that my connection seems to be more susceptible to spikes/high-latency/lag when my house mate is on skype. Ive even limited his connection more to stop this but it seems my connections been nerfed. this happend like a week or two ago.
I yet to give bbci hd a good testing but I really dont have the time of usage cap to do this asap.
seem impossible to get a connection that isn't shaped or heavily managed. And the pro addon I was paying for DID stop working and does affect the download speed in peek times or atleast it used to for me.
what am I doing wrong here? should I have gone with a llu isp? I just wont a connection that I control and id happly pay for it.
p.s I left my last isp after buying a £80 router with QoS so to control the bandwidth of the other person on my network, so he cant lag my game out. My old isp would become lagy after 2mb of bandwidth usage. but it would seem no after some time of being a customer with plusnet its starting to happen again. Any fluctuation in latency In todays games is just not good and its happending a lot even when NOTHING is using the net.

no upload errors any more but thats because its 6.6 not 6db. So I dont understand why asking for my download snr to be higher than 6 is such a out of the question request. Because thats the only reason Im here. tech wouldnt lock it at 6 or above and clearly after looking at the two router stats, you can see by increasing the snr on my upload its stoped the errors.
But the problem remains, so I guess its not the phone part of the frequency. Im seeing spiky lag in my games and my download speed seems to drop down then back up very fast. The fact that it picks up speed very fast shows its not the server Im downloading from, or at least points to what I'm saying about downstreem snr too low and line speed sync too fast.
