For the past few weeks had very slow speeds, then sometimes get full 70+mbit then drops again, doesn't tie in with peak times or any patterns. Last couple of days virtually unusable, speedtest.net showing about 2mbit but weirdly upload still about 18mbit, also getting a fair bit of packet loss.

Did the same Ping test, and was the same a fair bit of packet loss;

Weird, the router dropped the PPPoE at 2030hrs with the following:
Jun 26 20:30:42 daemon notice syslog: pppd:No response to 3 echo-requests
Jun 26 20:30:42 daemon notice syslog: pppd:Serial link appears to be disconnected.
Could be a gateway problem?

No idea what the issue is, seeing a lot of disconnection events in logs going on for last couple of days, nothing changed or moved.

I'm near Edinburgh if this is a regional thing. Very little useful info on the status page, so can only assume it's not a wider problem. Tried to call earlier but too long a wait on the phone.

I live in the North of Scotland, and I have just completed a speed test this morning, and its back to normal download and upload speeds.
Gave up last night trying to find the route of the problem, going to various sites, and low and behold, somebody has turned the wick back up.
Oh the joys of the internet.

Could someone from plusnet check my line please? Speeds have improved a bit since the weekend but for the last few weeks streaming sites (various sites, various times) have been buffering, stopping, freezing or reporting loss of connection sometimes for a couple of seconds and other times for minutes. My connection has been totally stable for nearly a year, it just doesn't 'feel' right anymore.
Thanks.

OK I'm new here, is there some kind of codeword, bribe system or do I need to do some kind of initiation first to get a reply? Been 3 days and see replies to other threads. Care to tell me what I need to do exactly to get a reply? I've tried being polite, patient and bumping up the thread. Don't have an hour to spend on the phone trying to get through.

Thanks for your patience @Zak
I've tested your connection and I'm not finding a fault
Sync Status | In Sync |
Downstream Speed | 79.2 Mbps |
Upstream Speed | 20.0 Mbps |
And the copper line test has passed.
Are you connecting wirelessly?

Hi Anoush, thanks very much for testing things and looking into this. It's been a bit better the last couple of days, but it's definitely been less stable for 2-3 weeks. I'd been very happy for almost a year so can tell when it changes, it's not like it's unstable, probably the best ISP connection I've had.
I tried wirelessly and also wired including straight into the router, very odd.
Thanks again for looking into this for me, apologies for being grumpy!

No problem. From looking at the packet loss it looks a lot more like a data transfer issue than a connection fault to be honest. Have you tried a factory reset of your router yet?

Hi, sorry for not replying to your last message, I didn't realise you had replied and the issues appeared to sort themselves out.
Had really slow speeds and buffering on youtube, netflix etc again which isn't normal for my connection. Did loads of speed tests and the weird thing is, I can get 0.01Mbps download and full 18-19MBps upload, and immediately repeat the speedtest and get 65-75MBps download. Throughout all of this, the upload speeds and ping remains steady, but the connection is unusable again for me now, could someone please take a look?
I've rebooted everything, nothing has changed regarding equipment or wiring, and I get the same results whether on wifi or cabled.
Thanks!

Could it be sporadic electrical interference impacting on the DSL line between your router and the telephone socket? Upstream and downstream use different ways to combat this, so one could be affected and not the other.
