in 1 month I have gone from 10000kbps download and 1000kbps upload to 6000kbps download to 889kbps upload. trying use my xbox is is like hitting you head against wall every time I turn xbox on the router decides it wonts to reset itself or i keep on getting signed out off xboxlive alot .my contract is soon to run out with plusnet this month so I would like plust to have a look or I am going else where thanks

Hi there and sorry to hear about the issue.

the router decides it wonts to reset itself

Tell me more about what happens when you notice this, i.e do the lights go out, i.e what's making you thing it's resetting? I ask as other than that it sounds like the broadband is disconnecting frequently.

[#3]

Can you copy and paste your router stats to here please?
Which router are you using?  If a TG (as supplied by PN) do you see any red or orange lights?

[#4]

ok.some days when I turn the xbox on it will take awhile to sign in.so I get up and look at the router and there will be only 3 lights on the router Power-ethernet-broadband- and no internet light then my xbox will inform that it can not connect to xbox live then i have to reset the router myself then its ok for awhile i have to reset it who i cant connect at all to xbox live..............and the other thing is for 1 year i have had a near perfect 10:1 so 10meg download 1meg upload iv lost that in one month i am now getting 6meg download and 1meg upload.

sorry...like the other forum member asked me a red light will sometimes be on but broadband will be running fine and the light will stay red sometimes for a couple of weeks

Thanks redridinghood,
What you've described there sound more like a symptom of the connection dropping out than an issue with the router itself, the connection logs we see would add weight to that too:

So I'd advise raising a fault over at http://faults.plus.net

Hmmm there's definitely no fault ticket there. If the faults troubleshooter isn't working for you for some reason I'd just advise giving us a call so we can go through it over the phone with you from our side of things.
