Broadband time outs

Hi since around August when i was told my fiber speeds was going to be changed from 38mb/s download to 52 mb/s & 20mbs download to 10 mb/s i am getting time outs when i connect to random website. it is also happerning to 1 of my email in Windows live mail.

I checked my speed & all seems fine .

my computer is coneccted with ethernet cable to my plusnet Technicolor 582n

I have enen changed my pc & a fresh install of windows 10.

I  now run windows 10 pro 32 bit.

Browser Firefox.

I have to click many times to load page & sometime it ill never load.

 

Any ideas Plusnet team ?

My contract has run out with plusnet so can switch anytime i want to another provider.

 

Should also say i have changed ethernet cable to pc

Re: Broadband time outs

We're not seeing many disconnects on your line:

 

Do you get errors when the page doesn't load? How does the problem show with your email?

Fix

There have been some problems with Windows 10 recently where Windows forgets it IP, doesnt sound quite like the problem you are having, but  to try to fix do you know how to go to your IP address settings and set your DNS to be 8.8.8.8 which points you at googles DNS. That has fixed the problems for other people in the past.

 

The other that has hit some people is adblockers, sometimes you go to a page (e.g. from a google search) and to get to the page you want it goes via an addtracker that gets blocked and does not work, but just looks like a page timeout. 

Have you tried turning your AV off when it stops working, event if just for 5 minutes?
