download speeds dropping and dropped connections

seems my connection is more unreliable as ever recently. the connection drops off on its own then comes back. my download speeds drop right low then they perk up again
not looking good plusnet! ironically i see your advert on tv every day and i dont believe it especially the bit about sky because i was with them for many years and i rarely had an issue with them

Re: download speeds dropping and dropped connections

Hi,
Your connection has remained very stable;

Are you using a wireless connection?

Re: download speeds dropping and dropped connections

no wired
so why are my speeds dropping down really low and rising if the connection seems not to be dropping?
not sure what you class as stable mind but for me its a connection that doesnt drop and doesnt speed up and slow down like its doing now

Re: download speeds dropping and dropped connections

Thanks for letting us know you're connecting over a wired connection.
I've had a look on your line and there's a couple of settings on the line that won't be helping particularly your SNR target being set to 3db.
You're on a longish line so I've placed a SNR reset to increase this to 6db and it should complete in the next 4 hours.
This should make things better but if you're still having any issues give us a shout

Plusnet: Did you check if he was having brief loss of sync that did not result in a loss of PPP (that doesn't show up on Visual Radius)?

Re: download speeds dropping and dropped connections

Hi, looks like the reset is going through but may take a couple of days to settle in. We can see there's still drops, but hopefully these will stop happening - though we'll check again tomorrow and if it's still going on it might be worth raising a fault.

Re: download speeds dropping and dropped connections

Hi there,
Looks like the line is a lot more stable, I can see interleaving has been turned on which has improved things - your last recorded sync speed is over 7000 so things are still looking good, hope things are working well from your perspective?
