Intermittent internet connection for a few days

[#1]

Hello,
I began experiencing problems with my broadband on Friday, where it started dropping every few minutes and the speed was very low. Sometimes it goes back to normal speed and doesn't get cut off for a while, but it's been like that for a few days now. I'd appreciate some help with this.
Thanks

Hi Jolita,
Welcome to the forums.  PlusNet staff (CRT) are not around here on a Sunday, so if you want help from community members, you will need to gather and post here the information requested in the speed issues thread that the top of this forum please.
Is your phone line quiet?  Dial 17070 option 2.
Is the router in the master socket?

Hello,
I did the quiet line test and there seemed to be some background hissing, which I don't think is normal. And my router is plugged into the master socket.

Hi Jolita,
Thank you for the information... though watch out the mods will be a long to remove the full quote of the preceding post... tis against the rules! 
First your SYNCH rate is some way below where it should be, so we need to find out why.
The difference between the BT profile and the the PN profile also indicates that the line has recently resynched at a higher rate.  You will see an improved DATA rate when the PN profile gets updated - this will (should) cause PPP to drop for a few seconds.
Are there any extensions?  What kind of master socket do you have?  If you can manage without the extensions and you have a NTE5 master socket, it would be useful to run with the router plugged into the test socket - behind the removable lower plate.
Who provides your phone service - I would report to them INTERMITTENT line noise and mention nothing about BB issues - unless PN is also your phone provider.
