The internet disconnects at least once every few minutes. The Internet light on the router turns off and I'm taken to the Thomson page No broadband connection. And then it comes back. I've done all the steps, tested hardware etc etc but no luck.
Download speedachieved during the test was - 39 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 400 Kbps-2 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 1.75 Mbps
Thank you

Sorry to hear it's still ongoing, the best thing to do would be to raise a fault via our troubleshooter at http://faults.plus.net - that'll get to our faults team who will update it as soon as they've tested and got more information for you.

I've just had a look at the reply and it seems a fault has been found with your phone service - do you notice any sort of noise on the line at all when making or receiving calls?
If so, that'll be causing the broadband problem, but it needs to be fixed by your phone provider (whoever you pay your line rental to). Best thing to do is to call them and advise you have a noisy line that needs fixing - but it's important not to mention the broadband if you do, as if you do this they will refer this back to us and there's nothing we can do to fix the noise on the line.
Once they've fixed the noise you should find that the broadband fault has gone, but please let us know if this is not the case.

The internet works fine plugged in to the master test socket
The internet works fine connected normally, checked and changed microfilters etc, before 4pm - after 4pm it disconnects and continues to drop every minute.
Inside the box thing where the test socket is, all the wires are loose (there are only black and green wires) do these need connecting?
Regards

If it doesn't drop at all when it is the Test Socket then it looks like you may have an internal wiring issue. It would probably be best to have someone take a look at that wiring for you as it doesn't look as though it is able to cope with holding a broadband connection.
