I am a fibre broadband customer, using the Plusnet Hub One. Since joining Plusnet 2-3 months ago, I have had issues with daily dropouts. Many last minutes but the other night it was out for around 8 hours. It seems to be fairly consistently around 10-11pm at night but it has also occurred at other times, such as about 10 minutes ago...
There is a lot of talk from customers complaining of this, and a lot of suggestions that these are "normal" drop outs however I have been a customer of both Vodafone Broadband and Sky in the last few years and never experienced dropouts even approaching the frequency that we have had with Plusnet.
Is there a solution to this, other than taking my custom elsewhere at the end of my minimum term? It's getting pretty annoying now.

Plusnet, to their credit, organised a BT engineer who came out and fitted a new phone socket. However the problem persists.
Was going to call support today but the half hour waiting time put me off. Just going to gee myself up for the on hold music and see what can be done next.

It can only be a Plusnet problem, I never had this problem with Vodafone, I think I only had one dropout in the 12 months or so that I was with them!

Apologies for the delayed response.
@PhilStation Our tests aren't showing any issue but if the drops continue we'd recommend raising a fault here
@Avybob I can see you've started raising a fault regarding this. If you complete it we'll get that picked up
@gcrinage If you can PM me your username I'd be happy to look into this for you

Yes, well, as luck would have it, the issues seem to have stopped since the outage prior to my initial post. I will review again should the dropouts resume.
