Re: Internet goes on and off every 5 mins

Report the full stats in your normal connection and the same stats from the test socket
Have you a started a fault report - if not you should start one when the router/laptop is downstairs and leave it there while they do the tests.
You may or may not be correct about the outside fault but unless you can demonstrate the fault using the test socket then Plusnet will be reluctant to progress it with BT as if, when BT send an engineer, he doesn't find a fault he will blame your internal wiring and stick in a charge in excess of £140 which will be passed on to you.

Re: Internet goes on and off every 5 mins

Can you confirm that now you are using the test socket, both the other sockets are dead - they should be.
Can you post your router stats now please.

Re: Internet goes on and off every 5 mins

I asked for the latest stats in your normal socket before trying the test socket but lets compare with the first set of stats you posted
Old socket
Line Rate    4685 Kbps    156 Kbps    
  Noise Margin    6.5 dB    15.0 dB    
  Line Attenuation    53.0 dB    29.1 dB    
In test socket
  Line Rate    5582 Kbps    884 Kbps    
  Noise Margin    6.1 dB    6.3 dB    
  Line Attenuation    51.5 dB    28.2 dB    
Your internal wiring is apparently causing problems

Re: Internet goes on and off every 5 mins

right
Tuesday 2pm on and off internet till 4pm
Wednesday Fine all day
Today 2pm 3pm On and off twice
How is it a wiring fault really, im not getting a engineer around when it could be my ISP causing the problem.
Not happy at all gonna look at another ISP on next bill.
Cheers.

Re: Internet goes on and off every 5 mins

To be very clear - this is not down to your ISP - it one of the following
1,  It is either the wiring in your property or one of your filters or your router paying up
2.  Or it is the wiring between you and the exchange or equipment in the exchange
Moving to another ISP will have no effect unless you go LLU when it might sort it if, and only if, it is a fault inside the exchange
I will now leave it to you to either migrate or follow the Plusnet fault solving system
