Re: Can anyone help with my FTTC issue

It is probably due to the fact that your cabinet is loosing sync to the FTTC exchange.  Do you know anyone else on FTTC connected to your cabinet?  It can simply be a wiring issue where the engineer who was connecting someone up may have loosened your cable a bit.  There also might be a fault in your area, check
https://www.bt.com/consumerFaultTracking/public/faults/tracking.do?pageId=31
for more details, there is a few areas with broadband problems, could you be one of them?
Once the Faults team have processed your fault, they might or might not send out an engineer to hopefully solve the problem.

Re: Can anyone help with my FTTC issue

I don't know anyone else with this technology when i last had VDSL the engineer did not do in correctly leaving me with a constant noisy line this engineer how ever i feel has done a good job better than when i last had VDSL meaning this time my line has no noise you could hear a pin drop
Plus i have checked to see if there is any problems in the area and none are present    
I have done some changes in my home and no disconnections as of yet touch wood this will still be the case when i call PN and ask for a visual graph on the matter at 12:00

Re: Can anyone help with my FTTC issue

I would like to say thank you to the people at plusnet support who dealt with my calls as it must get on there nerves when the same person calls up to ask for visual graph of there connection
And with out there support and sending the visual graph i would have no idea what would have been causing all the disconnections and there was a reason to ask every so many hours to see if my changes would of worked
Im happy to report i personally have not seen any problems with my connection at all
And i found out with the aid of the visual graphs that it was one of the two following
Routerto the Modem

AC adapter to the ECI Modem as i said before i did swap the ac adapter to the modem with the same make and the same problem was there so my last option was to try a universal adapter 
I am well aware that alot of ECI Adapters are faulty as i read on it awhile ago in my case the ECI Adapters were Creating Rein Repetitive Electrical Impulse Noise

Cheers, I'll pass that on. FYI we're usually able to pick up requests for these on the forum if you need them plus that would save you having to phone in each time.
