Seven days waiting for an answer

It is now seven days since I saw anything from tech support on the trouble ticket I opened, so I'm opening one on here. In that time, my download speed has been no better than 0.18Mbps (or 180Kbps). Upload is fairly steady at 0.34Mbs.

My router shows the DSL line is up and is at 287 kbps / 446 kbps. In the past this was 8888 kbps/ 446 kbps. Resetting the DSL line via router has no effect. Powering down the router for minutes, or hours, does not change this. The phone line 'seems' to be working, albeit with a few crackles now and then. 

Noise margin down/up is 11db/28db

Output power down/up is 16db/12db

Attenuation down/up is 41db/23db

When I first phoned, I was asked if I had another router. Surprisingly, I didn't. They said they'd call back on my mobile, and didn't. They did call back on my landline (also PlusNet), but I couldn't get there in time as I was reassembling the phone socket. Nothing since.

Is this likely to be a router issue on my end? All my settings are the same as ever.

Whatever, seven days without any answer to an open trouble ticket looks pretty poor from here. I was considering going to FTTC before this.

Re: Seven days waiting for an answer

Whilst I'm grateful for the swift response to me opening a thread on this forum, it is now two days since I posted my results in the member centre, having purchased a new modem, and posting the results, which were of course exactly the same as with the old modem. There has been no answer.

 

My profile looks like it has looked since I opened this thread.

Profile Info: WBC 160K - 288K Medium delay (INP Cool 6dB Downstream, 448 Medium delay (INP 2) 6dB Upstream

Therefore, the best I'm ever going to get is about 160Kbps. Why aren't PlusNet changing this profile?

Re: Seven days waiting for an answer

Thanks Anoush. That reset from your end has now worked, and I have 8725kbps down and 446kbps up. So, in real life, I'm back to 4.3Mbps, from 160kbps.
