I have been disconnecting quite frequently recently, it was bad over the weekend but I switched firmware on my Cisco and it seems to have gotten better but I'm still disconnecting a fair bit which has resulted in my speed dropping from a stable 8mb to 6mb. I try to go to faults.plus.net but that results in...
We were unable to complete your requested action. This may be the result of a temporary fault.
Please try again in a few minutes.
So I can't progress in that manner.

My attenuation is usually a solid 29db and my SNR 9db. I switched from my Cisco to a Netgear and that too reported the same attenuation/snr as well as the low connection speed.
I did have a *lot* of disconnections a couple of bit ago but that was due to an idle setting on my Buffalo (which I'm not using). My Cisco "activations" is at 4 which means it's reconnected 4 times since I turned it on yesterday.
Any ideas on what to do? I can't raise a fault at faults.plus.net (no idea why) and if I keep disconnecting my speed won't stabilise.
