I've been with plusnet for a few months now after switching from sky, and am starting to see some serious issues. Half of the time, i get the predicted max speeds of 5/6Mbps but thats only during the day, and at night on some days the internet will drop out, not allow our devices to connect and when we do connect give us a terrible speed of 0.09Mbps, sometimes not being able to test at all. the ping on said test was 18ms, if that helps. i wouldn't care if the speeds were bad in the day, but if i get home and cant just use the internet it kind of makes having broadband pointless. Please don't suggest fibre because we really can't afford the upgrade.
If this info is also helpful, we did have similar issues with sky but they stopped about a year ago before we switched.

[Don't do this at peak times, as you'll likely end up with slower connection). As long as it's only once a day OpenReach's DLM system shouldn't flag up line as temperamental, and slow even more!

Hi @charile1234
Together with our network partners at Openreach we are prioritising customers who don’t have a phone line or broadband connection, meaning there might be a delay in Speed Faults being fixed. In the meantime, please raise your speed fault online at faults.plus.net
