New customer 7 days intermittent speeds and cut outs :-(

[#1]

Same set up as i was using with sky ... cant even run the test half the time :

[#2]

Says uptime is 6 days??? Also tried different cables etc .. cant use a filter though as i got no signal when trying .. connected to main port .. all was fine with sky .... same on pc or mobile. Cant directly connect pc to router due to layout.

@hilton3 Welcome to the forums. Something is wrong there - your connection as far as the router is fine. What type of master socket have you got?

What user name is showing in the router - it should be in the form of 'yourusername@plusdsl.net'?

As @jab1 says, there doesnt appear to be much wrong with your basic ADSL connection speeds.

Two things to note though :-

Data sent/received: 1.6G/1.3G

You seem to have a significant amount of upload data , almost as much as the download!. If there is lot of upload traffic then that will slow the download as upload bandwidth is required to acknowledge download data. Are any of your devices continually backing up to the cloud ?

Cant directly connect pc to router due to layout.

You really need to be able to do a wired speed test. Wireless speeds can be affected by so many external factors. If it isnt possible, then one thing you might try is to change the wireless channel on the router to one that isnt being used by neighbouring routers.

Hi

Thanks for the reply. 
Cable comes in from outside, then runs inside to a white socket with two connectors,  the left one works, the right one with the filter doesnt?

The username is in the right format...

[#6]

My bad on the upload i was testing up/down speeds which is why that was so high.

Yea i tried switching channels and no difference, 

No network traffic at all in task manager.

Attached is tonight's test .. nothing at all but edge running.

A picture of the main socket, or details of any identification on it, would be a great help. If, as I suspect, it is a 5C master with a Mk.4 faceplate, the DSL cable goes into the L/H socket and the phone into the R/H.

If you remove the front of the socket and plug the router into the revealed test socket via a filter, is there any improvement?

[#8]

@hilton3  we really need a wired speed test to eliminate any wireless problem. If you try to raise a fault then one of the first things Plusnet will ask for is a wired speed test 

[#9]

Yea i took the cover off before .. its a by  openreach socket. 

So. connected via filter now .. less complete drop outs but speed is worse consistently under 1mbs?

Yes was a mk 4 faceplate ...

The problem with connecting directly is i have no monitor, just use a large tv...and also no phone to test line ...

[#10]

So you don't have a computer then - just a, presumably, 'smart' TV?

A cheap (£5/£6) wired handset is an essential tool for diagnosing line problems.

As asked before - what identification is on your main phone socket?
