That sounds suspisciously similar - however when the internet is connected it's of poor quality

Hi Hanxbear,
I've posted a graph of your connection, it seems that you're still having a few disconnections.

You've started the fault troubleshooter but haven't completed the initial questions, would it be possible to go to http://faults.plus.net and complete this then we'll take a further look at your line?
@Simonj89
I can see we've arranged for an engineer visit, let me know how it goes.

I have tried to answer the questions - but it's asking to try a different router - I only have one

Hi, you should be able to advise that you're unable to try an alternative router at that question?

OK I've raised the fault to the best of my ability.

Re: Broadband connection keeps dropping today and lag spikes constantly

Guys,
I'm really concerned with this - it's happened at least 4 times today and getting worse.  Judging by the stream of complaints on the forum with what appears to be exactly the same thing, there are major problems with Plusnet broadband and no one is join the dots.
Can you give me assurance that this is not the case?
