Constipated FTTC Help. IN dial up lane

My FTTC has slowed to slower than tomato sauce moving from the bottom of the bottle to the opening.
I have rebooted buth router and modem. BT wholesale sped test is showing as normal 27 Mbps down and 6.35 Mbps up.
Trace routes are showing lots of time outs.  Each Trace Rt times out lots of times. IS the net just dire at present or is there an issue somewhere else. i.e with myself or PN.
I can no longer find the gateway checker on the PN site to advise which gateway I am attached to.
{edit} I have just found that I am on: gateway ptn-ag04.. also that in the last month my exchange has apparently had a major outage but no further details listed {edit}
All advise much appreciated as this is dire.

Re: Constipated FTTC Help. IN dial up lane

can you do a test at BTW speed tester and use the further diagnostics options (you have to put in your phone number)
then post the results from that, it will show your line's ip profile which might help indicate a problem
just because your paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you

Re: Constipated FTTC Help. IN dial up lane

What is 192.168.0.1?  Normally I'd assume it's your router but I don't know how that works on the direct connection to the modem.
I'd expect the second hop (immediately after the router when it's used) to be the gateway (mine always is) but yours appears to be the third hop so what is the second hop that always times out?

My router is 192.168.178.1, the second hop shows my gateway is ptn-ag02
All the rest of your time-outs are consistent with what I get.

Re: Constipated FTTC Help. IN dial up lane

The 'direct to modem' tracerts look quite normal, how's the performance when connected this way?
Still the mystery of the second hop when connected via the router.
Can you confirm that 192.168.0.1 is the address of your router (if not, what is it)?

Re: Constipated FTTC Help. IN dial up lane

192.168.0.1 is the routers internal address. The very poor speeds are the same via router and via direct modem pppoe connection.

Re: Constipated FTTC Help. IN dial up lane

its probably some kind of share service hop,
i'm sure you mentioned it before but what router are you using ?
theres a problem with some routers in that changing there default ip address from 192.168.1.254 can cause problems because it's actually using both .254 and .255 in the network address pool .... if you mess about with the static ip address on things like the homehub it certainly does cause problems like this especially noticeable when any of the NAT/DMZ/port forwarding stuff is used and I know for certain that a few other makes of router use the same chipset complete with the same flaws
so you could try changing back to the default ip address on the router if that is the case, particularly as its timeing out before leaving your internal network, that will at least fix the problems beign caused by your router, I suspect theres a dns cache reason behind it being so poor when direct connected unless your specifying the dns server to be used in the ppp setup and try using more than one service (like only plusnet then only google then a mix of +net  and google servers)
if you haven't tried it already then do so just remember ot run a dns cache flush on the pc each time you change the server if nothing else it will rule those things out as being the reason behind the problem even if it doesn't fix the issue 
just because your paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you
