Its a brand new phone line, ( inc the cables from the pole as there was no line in the flat), plugged into test socket, nothing else plugged in, tried 2 filters and same issue, very annoying.
Hope this gets resolved soon.
Running the extra package with the add-on to keep the speed up.

Could be that your line is settling in, I have just been upgraded and have had a few drop outs as they find the best speed for the line.
Wait and see if it settles, if it doesn't then the people at PlusNet will sort things for you, they are very helpful.
Good luck,
Bllinky

Unfortunately I don't think Plusnet can raise a fault until the 10 day training period has finished.
There is one thing you can check however and that is the quiet line test - dial 17070 option 2 - the line should be quiet.
If it is noisy (crackles etc) try it it with just the phone connected and and then add the result to the existing ticket as then they can raise a voice fault immediately.
If it is quiet then you will need to let the broadband fault process take it's normal course

I hope the training period settles it for you though it definitely looks intermittent at the moment. Is the router in the master socket with no extension cables, and are all other items plugged into the phone line filtered? Either way we'll get the fault raised as soon as we can if it doesn't settle down.

What does interleaving do ? and is it really going to get me back up to the full speed i should be getting. at the moment the ip profile is set to 135k,
Surely there must be a fault on the line somewhere, is that being investigated ? or was turning interleaving on the answer ?
Any feedback would be gratefully received.

Thanks for your time earlier. I've managed to get it up to 3000k, so you should see that in the next 15 mins when it goes through. It doesn't look too bad right now but we'll have to see how it performs. In the meantime, don't make any changes to your set up, that way we'll have a better idea of what's going on.
