Hello,
I have been getting very slow internet or just complete disconnections. I have done a speed test with only one device connected and I'm getting about 0.5mbps. Have had plusnet for nearly three years and this has only started happening recently. Sometimes it will go back to its normal 20mbps but only for a very short period of about 5 minutes. I have reset the router several times and it has worked. Any help would be very appreciated.

Just expanding on @Gel 's comment - have a look at this 'pinned' topic on this board : https://community.plus.net/t5/ADSL-Broadband/ADSL-Speed-faults/m-p/1270245#M297501
If you could post the information requested on there, other customers may be able to offer suggestions, and it will give the Help Team a starting point - although they will probably do their own internal checks.

I have tried all of those before posting. Still have the same issues. I have report the fault maybe 3-4 times nothing has changed not even contacted regarding the faults.
Every time I try chat it is down, I have been in 30- =40 minutes question several times and have given up calling. I will try chat again but currently it is down.

How have you reported the fault?
You haven't given any customers a chance to help - the link I gave you earlier suggests you report your router statistics, which could give us a clue.
Chat is no longer operational and telephone queues can be long during the day - try calling early in the morning or maybe mid-evening.

I'll try and find the link to help you find them, but it could be a while - I know exactly how to find them for my router, but have no experience with Hub 0.

I have used the broad fault reporter several times today, one month ago and in January.

The only thing that looks a little 'odd' in those stats is your downstrean SNR, although te attenuation suggests you should be OK with 3dB.
I also note the router has only been 'up' for 8 minutes - you do leave it on at all times?

So presumably you have a fault reference number/question number?

I have called at 7:30 am, 12pm 4pm and 9pm. I did get through right at the begining in December. They just told me to report the fault and use the online help guide. This is why I'm asking for help as they don't seem interested.
TBH I'm getting sick of plusnet it took them 4 months to connect me in the first place and now the customer service is a joke. If this doesn't work out soon I'm going to find another ISP.
