My connection runs fine for months on end. Them it starts playing up disconnecting and with the upstream SNR going berserk up and down from -3 to 14. Plusnet or Openreach running test seems to cure it for a while then it returns after a month or so. I currently have a ticket open 182302226 for this episode but I wonder if anyone else has ever had this problem. I had the same problem a few years ago which ended up with a cease and re provide.

Hi, I've checked this for you and it seems that a couple of settings were off on our side. I've reset these for you, and tried to manually set your SNR at 6dB. Please can you monitor this for 24 hours for me and let me know how it goes.

Hi
sorry for hijacking the thread. I'm having the same problems snr is up to 18.
I have changed it to 10 on the router and that seems to sort it for now.

Hi @rustyalloy
For you your line is dropping quite a bit despite the high SNR.
Line tests aren't showing the cause of the problem so I'd run through the troubleshooting steps Here reporting a fault to us Here if you're still experiencing problems. Let us know how this goes.

it's definitely not internal i haven't changed anything.
I will leave it 10 snr for now. The line has been up with no disconnects or drops in speed for 36 mins.
cheers

Thank you for looking. Unfortunately it does not seem to make any difference, the upstream SNR is up and down like a yo yo and drops to zero or even a minus number. I think a complete re set in needed.
Edit: Engineer booked for Friday PM

@Cagney1994 I have a Asus dsl-ac88u router there is a setting called Stability Adjustment. It sort of fixed my problem though still keep getting disconnects and slow speeds but atleast it's not as bad.
@Gandalf update it still disconnects and is very slow snr is very high again. I see on my router that I have switched over to interleaved mode it was on fast mode. I think I will book a engineer to come out.

Hi @rustalloy
Thanks for confirming that - I've raised your fault to our suppliers and updated the ticket here
If you could give us a nudge when you've updated the ticket with your availability that would be great.
Best wishes,
Dave

Hi @rustyalloy,
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the connection. I've taken a look into your account today and I can see that the connection is dropping out, however we're unable to detect the cause of this fault upon testing your line.
As this is the case, we'll need you to go through the internal troubleshooting again, in case any internal issues may have arisen with the equipment in use since the checks were last done. The troubleshooting guide can be found here and a guide on how to set your router up within the test socket in the property can be found here.
Please let us know how the testing goes and if the issue persists so that we can look into investigating the fault further if needs be.

Hi
Thanks for your quick reply
I think I have found out what was making my router re-boot itself and the internet connection to drop.
I did some testing I started to unplug stuff and found out it was a homeplug who new a homeplug would do this??? It was spamming the DNS. I saw message in the log saying it had reached 150 DNS entries which is nuts.
The router has been up for 1 day now no crashes.
Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Actually scrap that the internet just dropped again the wireless is fine the internet just drops. I have to press the apply on the wan page of the router to get it to connect again that lasts a few hours then I have to repeat.
I will do some more testing
