Re: my fiber down load speed after 19.30 very ERRATIC SPEEDS

Sorry to hear about that firebird1000, does it happen even when your son isn't gaming? Could be good idea to either test the speeds at that time making sure he's not in a game or alternatively ask him to try the same game at another time and see if the same issue occurs.
If that doesn't reveal anything I'd head to http://faults.plus.net and go through the steps on the online fault checker.

Similar issues affecting my connection tonight. Ping and download speeds very erratic this evening despite having a 70mb 15 ping connection tonight has been lagging and only half speed. Feels as if capped or not protruded properly.

The likes of youtube and iplayer are not watchable iplayer will play a few seconds of content then buffer and repeats youtube that just fails to buffer video at all even at very low quality.

Hi firebird1000,
I can see we've been unable to identify the cause yet, our fault team will be in-touch as they are investigating this further.

Re: my fiber down load speed after 19.30 very ERRATIC SPEEDS

Angry Had a Openreach engineer turn up today and said nothing was wrong at this time 13.25 Guess what [Censored] speed again at 20.36 If I have to I will get a private engineer to run tests at 20 .30 This time of night so if I leave due to poor speeds on Plusnet service  I will have proof. I had the same thing with BETHERE on ADSL2 and I won the case through OFCOM. By the way this happens every day at this time of day it is my son online or me not both Angry
