Fast speed, poor performance

[#1]

Hi, firstly I'm a new user, 13 days with Plusnet Unlimited but my speeds are persistently good - 70+mbps. However, with the exception of BBC News site, e-mail (Outlook) and Plusnet site, I'm having difficulty in working any other sites. They all time out - even my Microsoft account. I cannot view clips from the BBC site. Other sites which time out include winchester.anglican.org and basingstokedeanery.org (which I am the administrator for). I'm using Windows 10 and have an ethernet connection to the Plusnet 1 router. I'm encountering the same problem whether I use Firefox, Chrome or IE. Please advise where I should be looking for a solution. Thank you!

Your sites load fine on my win10 . Firefox 45.2

Have you tried clear your cache and cookies , or restart your router from its web page ?

Maybe a dns issue? I've seen on the broadband forum a topic regarding dns issues.

Try using Google dns temporary to see if the problem vanishes.

Hi MikeB18,

I am sorry to hear about the issues you have currently been facing. First i would clear your cookies and cache from your web browser and even try a different web browser all together. Doing this should resolve this issue for you.

If this doesn't work can you please run these checks from this link please http://goo.gl/BZE3NM

http://www.basingstokedeanery.org loads slowly

www.winchester.anglican.org loads ok.

I think there may be routing issue in the network.  I have quite a few websites that are not working or only partially working for me, which all work via Three mobile.

e.g. connecting to www . checkupdown . com fails on Plus.net but is fine with Three.

Tracert gets no further than lo0-central10.ptn-ag04.plus.net [195.166.128.193]

www . winchester . anglican . org does not load via Plus.net, but does via Three.

Tracert on Plus.net gets as far as linx.telecityredbus.net before no further response

Tracing route to www . winchester . anglican . org [88.80.188.233]

Via Three final response comes from li696-233.members.linode.com [88.80.188.233]

Edit: Trying to remove automatically created hyperlinks as post is immediately rejected! What an annoying system as I cannot find how you get to the rejected post. Good job there is a back button..

Thanks, working on the cache and history with some improvement after reboot. I can't access basinstokedeanery.org.uk myself now! Good to know there is help out there!

[#8]

I'm having similar issues as I can't connect to either hotmail.com or login.live.com, I can confirm that although archive.org has the Basingstoke Deanery site neither I nor isup.me can connect to it http://isup.me/www.basingstokedeanery.org.uk

Speed test and performance for many sites is good

Alan, my issues were resolved by turning off my modem for an hour.  Once it was reconnected my traffic was going via a different gateway (lo0.13.central13.pcl-bng01.plus.net [195.166.130.141] instead of lo0-central10.ptn-ag04.plus.net [195.166.128.193]).

Thanks, Fixed my issue and all is back to normal.

Appreciated,

Alan

Hi! Thanks! Switched off my modem overnight and all is back to normal too! Scary though!
