Re: Disconnection very frequently

I suggest reporting a dropping connection fault using the troubleshooter at http://faults.plus.net. When your connection drops does the BT modem lose sync with the DSLAM or is it just the PPP (Internet) session to Plusnet that drops?

Re: Disconnection very frequently

"Dear Mr Wong,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your phone service. Before we investigate this further, please see our video help guide below:The link is
you are unable to watch the video for any reason the steps are outlined below.We need to find your master socket, this is often the first telephone point where the line enters your home. If you’re still unsure of what that looks like, we have a guide here - http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/master-socket-guide.shtmlWhen you've found it you need to make sure it’s working properly:* Locate your master telephone socket, and unplug all other equipment from the line (ideally, please try this from the test socket (behind the removable front plate of the master socket)* Now take the corded handset and plug directly into the master socket. * Pick up your handset and see if you’re still having the same problem.If you have done all the above checks and the issue is still evident then we can arrange to send an engineer to you. However, if an engineer visits your premises and the issue is found to be caused by your equipment, internal wiring or as a result of damage to BT equipment a charge of £50 may apply. This is why we advise of the above checks.If you wish to proceed with an engineer appointment we need the following information:* Agreement that if the issue is caused by any of the above that you may receive a £50 charge.* An alternative contact number preferably a mobile* Availability should an engineer need to attend the premises, between the hours of 8am-1pm & 1pm-6pm Monday - Friday.You can reply to this ticket here with the requested information. Alternatively, you can call us on 0800 432 0200 or on 0345 140 0200, pressing the option to raise a new Home Phone Fault."

Re: Disconnection very frequently

Have to identified if it happens at specific times of the day etc. Also have to tried a direct PPPOE connection missing out the router and plugging directly between PC and MODEM. If I have any connection issues I find it's always good to PPPOE to help rule out my router etc.

Re: Disconnection very frequently

I see you've told us there's no dial tone on the phone. This is something we really need to fix first as that's going to be having a knock on effect on your broadband, that's also why you've received that reply to your fault report.
