They say it's openreach but I never had this issue with EE.
They tell me to compete the online fault finder, it doesn't even have options for issue. I go through the questions, it asks me if I have a connection when plugged into test socket (which I do, until it randomly disconnects) and then the fault finder stops thinking I don't have a fault! That's what happens when you leave a computer program to do the job a human should be doing.
I'm now told to wait 3 days and test when I've already had a week of frequent disconnects.
What's our legal standing with leaving broadband providers? I want out. I will never use plusnet again. The combination of connection issues and poor customer service is terrible. No wonder plusnet score so low in surveys.

Have you done a quiet line test?
Whilst disconnects are irritating they generally reconnect within 30 seconds or so - what’s the actual impact on your use of the service?
In another browser tab, login into the Plusnet user portal BEFORE clicking the fault & ticket links

Thanks for reaching out.
I'm sorry to see you're experiencing connection problems. We've asked you to leave your router connected into the test socket for up to 3 days to figure out where the issue lies, for example if your connection is stable in this way then that indicates the problem lies with the internal wiring of your property.
As @Townman has said, faults can occur at any point in time I'm afraid and there can be a variety of causes.
If you continue to get drops then I'd recommend completing the broadband troubleshooter at http://faults.plus.net to report a fault to us(Selecting the option for an intermittent connection, that'll allow you to complete the process).
If you're wanting to leave Plusnet we won't be in a position to waive any termination fees until we've been provided an opportunity to resolve the problem by first arranging engineers(Assuming that the internal checks don't fix the issue).
