yes so my connection is all over the place

yesterday my connection went down and it definitely did because the router was totally down! i turned it off and on and it came back.
since this ive noticed my speeds have gone up so im getting an extra 100kbps approx more on max download speeds. the connection seems unreliable and theres big fluctuations in speed. sometimes mega slow other times its good. the red light bug keeps coming on and going away and earlier my computer said no internet access and i was still surfing and downloading for ages until it cleared.......usually first sign of a drop is page cannot be displayed, so this no access warning on my pc was a first with plusnet yet it was wrong.
can someone please tell me what the hell is going on with my connection ?

You'll need to use one of the official support channels, either call or raise a ticket.

Re: yes so my connection is all over the place

Hi, what kind of results were you seeing? Just wondering what sort of variance there was, and what the speeds were like at different times of the day.

Re: yes so my connection is all over the place

what does superfluous mean ?

speeds were 45-50% sometimes and them 100% and 90% at some times.
i was told that it would be seen by  plusnet what the results were on my account.

Re: yes so my connection is all over the place

Superfluous means unnecessary pretty much - for example if you'd copy and pasted the same response into more than one thread, only one of those would be moved and the rest removed as they're not needed.
As for the test results, I did a check for them but couldn't see any I'm afraid, the test option to check results wasn't shown. I'll check again a bit later, though in all honesty we'd need a fault opening for our support team to check those for you and I'm not sure that there is one present - you've not actually described the issues you're having?

Re: yes so my connection is all over the place

Can you run this test http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/ (you need to click on Further Diagnostics / put in your phone number and click Run Diagnostic Test)? Please then post the results or screenshot here.
Also, make sure you are doing the test wired rather than wireless - if possible.
