Hi there.

I've tested your line today and while I can see the drop you've had, the tests aren't showing the cause for this though it looks like you were back up and running shortly after. 

If the drops get more frequent I'd recommend raising a fault ticket to us at http://faults.plus.net

Feel free to post back once you've done this or if you need further assistance.

I've found the quickest and most effective way to get through to support and run through any problems is to give them a call.

Login as mentioned above then go here.

Then click 'broadband' as the problem, and then 'my problem isn't listed' which will give you the option to call support.

Good luck.

Hi @myplsnet, thanks for your post.

Whilst calling in will certainly get you some technical help, it's worth noting that we in the social media team are nearly all technical/faults trained and should be able to assist with most issues.

Please let us know if you need any help.

In fairness I think you're all pretty good with faults / speed issues and I'm not faulting the forums team. The main reason I suggested getting the phone number for support is it might be more convenient if the internet is off, and you can usually get any line test results right away.

I've never been told to "turn it off and back on again" or had to escalate beyond the person I've been talking to.

I got through to customer services once and they just skipped forwarding me to tech support and did some tests and SNR changes themselves. Not so bad really.
