Hi there.

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing connection problems.

I'd recommend raising a fault to us at http://faults.plus.net letting us know when you've completed it and we'll pick it up.

Hi @superbin,

I'm sorry to hear that the engineer wasn't able to resolve this for you.  I've tested your line today and have found a potential issue with some of the underlying line settings. I've adjusted these now, please monitor your connection over the next 2-3 days and let us know if you're still experiencing any problems. I've added a bit more information on the fault ticket here.

Can you advise what ping times you're currently seeing?

It may also be worth carrying out a traceroute to the server in question.

hi its up and down best ping is 300 but then rise to about 1120 with online gaming cheers 

[#10]

Can you use a tool such as ping plotter and post the results?

We'll need more info to investigate this properly.

Glad to hear you've seen a increase.

With regards to speeds your currently within the estimates for your line.

The only way to get faster speeds would be to upgrade to fibre but unfortunately this isn't available for you as you're connected directly to the exchange.
