New Fibre Installed Today

Hi
Not happy at all with my Plusnet broadband. Installed today and I have a wired connection to my TV. When I try to watch You Tube, it keeps clutching and freezing every five minutes. Do you get a cancellation period where you are not penalised?

Re: New Fibre Installed Today

Hi griff1963,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems streaming. I've taken a look at your line and you're connected to the Fibre Cabinet at full 80/20 speeds ad your line is completely error free. Your speed profiles are all set correctly.

I can see a few disconnections, are these you trying to improve things by restarting the modem and/or router? Do you see the same issues on other devices?

Re: New Fibre Installed Today

I can see from your service status page that there are broadband problems in my area for the last 9 days!?!?
When I ping anywhere, I am experiencing 100% packet loss

Re: New Fibre Installed Today

My connection seems to keep freezing too. Lights for DSL and Auth stay green but I just can't connect to anything. So could this be a BTW problem separate to what you already know?

Can you both set up TBB Graphs as mentioned here: http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,106312.0.html

Re: New Fibre Installed Today

I've had one running since the service went live.
I don't seem to see it on here - For my case I am not sure if it's something on my machine. I do use PNP that you supply via Mcafee. I beta tested it for Rich back in the day and have used it since and never had a problem until today. SO I don't think it's that either.
Odd but anyway here is mine

Re: New Fibre Installed Today

Is there a cooling off period? I never had these problems on Virginmedia.

You need to login to your router and allow it to receive ping packets or it will be constantly red.

What make of TV is it? I hear that BBC iPlayer is having issues with Sony TV's at the moment: http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/tv/sony_smart_june
I've attached your line stats that I've managed to get hold of.

Re: New Fibre Installed Today

Also Samsung TVs have been having issues with Internet connectivity in general - not solely related to iPlayer.  In passing I also experienced worse than normal iPlayer performance on my PVR.  Will take a look now at Chris' link!

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Re: New Fibre Installed Today

I have removed my TBB graph for various reasons. I will post my f8lure one as soon as I know how to do it.

Re: New Fibre Installed Today

nope - the first couple of days seem to be critical but the automatic system just continuously check the line
In this respect it is different to ADSL

Re: New Fibre Installed Today

I've been getting really poor speeds at peak times recently as well.
Line stats are fine and IP profiles are all good.
I fear it seems like PlusNet's core network may be suffering.
