slow connection

i am a new customer to plusnet which was fine for a couple of days but now it takes over 3 mins to connect and another  2 mins to settle down before i can surf,ihave done the router test (which is my own netgear) for the tech lads at plusnet now they want to send out a engineer but i am not paying 60 pounds just for them to tell me its my fault, i had no bother with connection speed when i was with aol cannot go on like this much longer its like going back to the first computers. any ideas.
thanks john.  Sad

The reason we mention this is not because we wan't to defer any blame or charge you unnecessarily. We want to help rule anything out that might be a cause of the fault within your premises before considering an engineer visit, we can even send a router out to you to rule that out as a cause if need be.
I've run some checks against your account and can see that disconnections might be an issue that could be causing the reduced speeds. Assuming you're not powering the router off and on frequently I'd advise raising a fault here: https://portal.plus.net/apps/kbdfaults
