Are Plusnet rebalancing pipes

[#1]

I just got kicked off the internet - router remained in synch.
Needed to manually disconnect and reconnect to the Plusnet servers to get it working again

Could be related to this. I imagine Plusnet would announce rebalancing if they were doing any – they normally do.

[#3]

Some of our Brightview (Madasafish, etc) customers got disconnected briefly earlier this morning, but we haven't done any balancing work.
Please let me know if you see further problems.

Not sure if this is related. I'm with Plusnet btw
I was already offline but  when I tried to get online at approx 12.40 it kept timing out error 721 unable to connect to remote computer. Rang the help line but recorded message said no problems. Kept getting same error message until a few mins ago then suddenly it's all working again? I'm confused

Nothing unusual in our RADIUS logs Jim.

@rhinocratic, I can see you weren't online at 12:40 but it would be pure speculation if I was to suggest why that might have been!

[#6]

Bob,
When i noticed the problem the router connection showed Connected to the server but nothing under Negotiation. I tried clicking on Connect which didn't work so I clicked on Disconnect then Connect which did
That bit is probably what the Radius logs picked up

Not to worry, Bob. We're back online now

I replied to a post you'd made on TB Jim about it possibly being a fault on netgears, I used to have the problem regularly on my Netgear 834v4 swapped to speedtouch and the probelm went away, using a 2wire now and still no problem

[#9]

I saw that - I stopped using the Speedtouch when they emasculated the firmware and won't go back.
Now I suppose the next question is whether it is the router or the power supply.
Trouble is I am very happy with the Netgear - it holds on to synch at noise margins down to about 3.5 without too many errors and the bit swapping works properly unlike the last Speedtouch I had

[#10]

I don't know if it's the same, but my computers have regularly been loosing sync with the router for the last few days.  The router appears to be syncing ok (no connection lights flashing - everything steady, and no drop in sync rate)  Sometimes they find the connection again on their own.  Sometimes I have to disconnect and reconnect the computer, and a couple of times, I've had to reset the router to get the connection back.  Seems random, but worse late at night.  I've also got the Netgear router supplied about a year ago by PN

I didn't realise Plusnet ever supplied Netgear

[#12]

We haven't.
John are you referring to our Thomson routers, or did you mean that you got your Netgear router from somewhere else?

[#13]

Sorry. Just me being an idiot!  Mine is a Netgear of course.
