Connection Dropouts

Hi all, 

 

hoping someone on here can help or advise me; have been dealing with Plusnet support for months now without any luck.

I'm having constant connection dropouts, where we lose connection completely for anywhere between a few and 10+ minutes, with no apparent rhyme or reason. I'm only really at home in the evenings, but for the few hours i might be online i will typically see around 2 or 3 drops per night; though we can go as much as 2 days without drop. We've had line checks left right and center all apparently looking fine, with router replaced, as well as socket and pole to house line replaced to due to corrosion. 

Last drop was around 22:06 tonight, please see below logs for event. Would really appreciate anyone's help on this as it's getting pretty tiresome now.

 

 

Thank you in advance,

Re: Connection Dropouts

How is your phone line? Have you tried a quiet line test - dial 17070 option 2 from a corded phone?

 

If its noisy report a phone line fault.

 

If quiet, rather than copy all the events from the log, just filter the WAN events to help show how often the drops happen -  or hope a staff member sees your post and can provide a Radius Server report.

Re: Connection Dropouts

Hi Mustrum,

 

thanks for your quick reply.

 

 

Phone line sounds okay, spoken word is clear but quiet line test presents a very slight static background sound. Frankly not sure if that is standard or not, so difficult to tell.

 

Had hoped someone would be able to spot some obvious issue in the "all" logs; a device causing the problem, or a clear fault. As you can see from the WAN logs below we've had 4 drop outs in the past 24hrs. Plusnet have previously stated they can't see any faults on the line, and couldn't even see these drops which is more worrying. Sort of starting to feel like they can't find a fix so are fobbing it off trying to get rid of us.

 

Have attached the "all" logs again from 2 drop outs tonight, would massively appreciate if anyone who is confident in reading logs to see if they can see any correlation between the two drops and advise further.

Re: Connection Dropouts

I've been having very similar problems for months now, with no obvious cause and no solution being offered. I'm awaiting my SIXTH engineer visit (yes, there WILL be a significant compensation arrangement when this is finally resolved) but no actual help has been provided at all. How can yet another visit (the first two never happened, another compensatory factor) resolve the issue when the last three engineer visits were not able to?

Re: Connection Dropouts

Welcome to the community forums Pete.

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing connection problems.

 

Whilst our tests aren't finding the cause of the drops we can see, I'd recommend arranging another engineer visit to further investigate. If you can reply to this ticket and let us know over here once you've done so we'll get it booked in for you.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

@jamessc

Sorry for the issues you've been having.

Unfortunately intermittent faults can sometimes require multiple visits to investigate.

I do sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Re: Connection Dropouts

Hi Peter, I'm afraid my technical knowledge on these matters is extremely limited, but do you know anything about the signal to noise ration on your line (an engineer would need to check it)? If the threshold is set too low and faults are found, this might result in regular drop outs which then reestablish connection with no apparent cause. My set up involves fibre to the exchange with the old copper wire to my house, and this has been previously noted as an issue. A BT setup was causing the threshold to be far too low (in an attempt to increase speed, which relies on very high quality connections which I do not have) which caused numerous drop outs. Whenever the threshold was raised by an engineer (doubled from 3 to 6 db) the problem went away until the BT system auto reset to the low threshold and the problem started again. I've been having trouble with this for months on end now, but perhaps this information will be of use to you. Good luck! James

@jamessc

For information the SNR can be accessed by logging into your router. It is also recorded in the OP's log above. He is reconnecting at circa 6dB download SNR.

Ok, thanks Baldrick1. I missed that, my knowledge is, as is now obvious, extremely limited! Cheers,

Re: Connection Dropouts

Hi again Pete.

I'd just like to follow up on here.

From what I can see your connection is still fairly unstable:

Re: Connection Dropouts

Hi All,

 

 

Has there been any update regarding this?

As i have the exact same issue regarding intermittent connection drops.

Re: Connection Dropouts

Hi Gandalf,

 

yes we still have a very unstable line, and our ticket has been placed on hold till 16th for reasons unknown.

 

Is the relatively periodic or cyclic nature of the drops seen on friday, saturday and sunday (starting at 19:30 and at regular intervals) indicative of any issue in particular? 

 

 

Also, we are being told we need another BT engineer to come out to the property; how is this going to help if they have already checked the line on previous visits? What are they going to find this time that they didn't the last 2 occasions?  

 

Thank you in advance for your help,

 

Pete

Re: Connection Dropouts

Hi Pete.

I can't see where we've placed your fault ticket on hold?

It's currently awaiting your response. You can view and reply to it from here.

 

Also, we are being told we need another BT engineer to come out to the property; how is this going to help if they have already checked the line on previous visits? What are they going to find this time that they didn't the last 2 occasions?  

Unfortunately, as your connection is intermittent and our tests are not finding the cause of that I'm sorry to say but the only option we have with our suppliers is to book another engineer visit. I do appreciate the frustration though.

Re: Connection Dropouts

Hi Pete,

 

Have the engineers fixed your issue yet? as i have the same issue so I'm following this thread with interest.

 

Cheers
