For the last few weeks, internet drops out between 12 and 4 sometimes it comes back on sometimes it's off for hours, working from home is impossible under these circumstances, i understand that the network may be under stress, but i'm paying plusnet for a service i'm not receiving. I would be ok with a reduced speed, but not it disappearing altogether. Looking at the number of topics with similar problems and no reply i'm not holding out much hope.
All the people at work haven't had any issues, it's just seems to be plusnet.

When you say it's dropping is it the line or just WiFi? If it's the line, that is, it drops with an Ethernet connection between your router and computer, then what are the Hub lights doing?
If it's just wireless then which Plusnet Hub are you using?

Hi Baldrick, at the same time each day, the router disconnects and the red light comes on, it tries connecting, but usually stays off for about three to four hours. Turning the router on and off has no effect, i'm not keen on returning it to factory settings as it seems to be an exchange fault, not the router. The internal and external wiring was checked about 6 months ago, and it was ok, this can't happen.
I'm using the Plusnet hub provided:
The badge is my son's take on Plusnet at the moment.

@MatthewMaguire Welcome to the forum
Hooking on to someone else's topic both causes confusion and could result in your problem is missed.
I suggest that you start again. If you select either the ADSL or Fibre board, whichever is appropriate, you will see a field labelled 'Start a topic. If you select this you can explain your problem.

It sounds very much like an infrastructure problem and apart from suggesting that if you have access to another fibre router to try just in case it's a hub fault it's a case of awaiting the attention of a Plusnet staffer on here or phoning in. The phone lines are working, if you get redirected back here it's because that at the time of your call the wait time is unreasonably long.
I'm sure that you are aware that both Plusnet and Openreach are very short staffed at the moment and struggling to keep the network running. Calling Plusnet names will not help solve your problem or encourage those Plusnet/Openreach employees who are still at work doing their best!

I was aware that they may be short staffed because of the lockdown, but struggling to keep a network going? No-one else i've been in contact with has had this problem, in fact they are appalled this is happening at this time and has been occurring for the last 4 weeks.
If the internet service we're paying for is only available 2/3 of the time it's needs to be, and for me it's an essential service as i work from home, i'm looking forward to getting back 1/3 of the cost from plusnet... i just want a consistent connection, i don't care if it's reduced speed, but it cutting out completely is unacceptable.

Hi @weblabrador
I am really sorry to hear that.
There is no fault on your line when tested but I can see that line is dropping.
Can you run through our troubleshooting guides here: https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/connection-troubleshooting/
I will test your line again around 2-3pm to check if results will be different.

Hi again @weblabrador
I have managed to test your line while you are experiencing this issue. Tests showed external fault so I have raised it with our suppliers.
You can find fault ticket here https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=view_question&id=200791095
Please accept apologies for this inconvenience.

@weblabrador Instead of just posting to say that your internet is off have you checked the fault ticket link in message #9 above. That should give an estimated fix time for the fault that was found, I expect the engineers are short staffed and may be taking longer to fix things these days.
