DSL connection up and down consistently all day

[#1]

Hi,

My internet connection has been up and down more often than the proverbial today.

I've rebooted the router today. Log snippets below. Any known issues?

This is a relatively re-occurring issue (engineer's out twice, replaced plus one router with another, and then Asus AC68U), etc. Sigh.

[#2]

Apologies for the pasted log, should've attached 

[#3]

Thanks for your post @Lostinza.

On checking the line, we can certainly see a lot of drops, but they don't all tally with your results, as shown below:

As we've previously been through all of our home domain checks, we'd now be looking to progress straight to an engineer visit, although I can well appreciate that given this would be the 3rd visit you may be reluctant to arrange for this.

Can you confirm that you're still in the test socket etc?

[#4]

Hi @OskarPapa,

Thanks for the quick response. An engineer visit is fine.

I'm not connected to the test socket. I shall do that now.

I don't know why the results don't tally. Likely something between the endpoints?

Kerryn

[#5]

Hi Kerryn.

For fibre connections our connection logs don't pick up on every drop, when they don't we refer to them as micro-drops. Let us know once you've plugged your router into the test socket as I think that's the next step to see if the issue still exists.

If that's the case I'd recommend reporting a fault to us at http://faults.plus.net and if you can nudge us over here once you've done this we'll be happy to get the fault ticket picked up as soon as possible.

[#6]

Thanks @Gandalf 

Ah OK - makes sense on the micro-drops.

I'm now connected to the master and have raised a fault.

[#7]

Hi @Lostinza

Thanks for raising this. I've updated your fault ticket here - if you could let us know when you've added to that ticket we'll get that booked in for you.

Best wishes

Dave

[#8]

Hi,

The engineer was due 8-1pm on the 5th August but was a no show.

Now the ticket has not had a response since just after 1pm on the 5th.

The dropouts continue. Any chance someone can pick this up please?

[#9]

Hi @Lostinza,

Sorry no engineer turned up and sorry there hasn't been an update on that ticket in so long. I've rebooked the visit and updated it on the ticket for you. 

[#10]

Thanks @JOLO.

There is nobody available tomorrow to facilitate engineer access if they need entry to the property. Any other time slot this week is good. (pretty much any day except Tuesdays).

[#11]

No worries @Lostinza I've got this changed for you and updated it again on the ticket. 

[#12]

Ace - thanks @JOLO. The new date/time is good. 

[#13]

@Lostinza,

Perfect. I've spoken to Openreach too to make sure it's definitely booked and someone will actually attend this time too - the last one had the visit stripped for some reason. 

[#14]

Thanks @JOLO. Annoying the last one was stripped without notice but appreciate you following up. 

[#15]

Sigh. While stable for a little while it's happening again. Worst is daily between 8-10am.

FYI - OpenReach engineers investigated previously and told me to monitor for a period of time. Which I've done. Find the router log attached showing the outages (microdrops).
