Re: GEA TEST

hi can u please increase my profile as the throughput seems to be stuck again and i seem to have been put on 76 meg profile can u please check your side as i have been having issues and yes im on a static ip address 

the issue was it went down to 72 meg and now back up to 76 but was always on 80 meg so can u work any magic your end before i report this as a fault rather see if u can correct this your end first like you have done for me in the past 

cheers

Re: GEA TEST

Thanks for getting back to us @iangilf

I've tested your line and I can't see any issues remotely. Whilst your sync speeds have dropped slightly they are still well above your minimum guaranteed access line speed of 56.8mbps which means I'm afraid our suppliers wouldn't investigate this as a fault.

Re: GEA TEST

Sorry to see you feel that way.

As I'm sure you're very aware, we've no control over your sync rate. If your line is disconnecting by itself then I suggest reporting a fault to us at faults.plus.net so we can arrange an engineer to investigate further.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Re: GEA TEST

@iangilf 

Any correlation between your outages and the report from your latest GEA?

Your previous GEA seemed clean, what could be causing the interference now?

See

https://support.zen.co.uk/kb/Knowledgebase/Broadband-Understanding-REIN-and-SHINE

BTW, moving to another Adsl/Vdsl provider will not resolve REIN/SHINE or infrastructure issues, your only option is to move to FTTP (ie not Plusnet as they don't yet provide this service), Virgin media, Satellite, Microwave or Mobile internet.

 

Interference Pattern Regular Interference Observed on Week Days
Service Impact Retrains Observed
Interference Duration Longest Occurrence From 04:15 to 04:30
Interference Location Unknown
Interference Observed In Days 2

Re: GEA TEST

@iangilf 

 

I am not sure to whom your second line refers, please can you use the @ key to avoid confusion.

Assuming it is me, then I can assure you that interference is not limited to  inside the property.

You say nothing has changed inside the property, but how can you tell?

For example any electro-mechanical  device (switch/thermostat/motor) can become effectively a spark gap transmitter and cause wide band radio interference.

Electronic based power supplies may start to fail causing unwanted radio interference.

External radio transmission's can affect lines.

It should be noted that ADSL/VDSL is based on radio frequencies in the LF/HF bands, as opposed to FTTP/Sat/Mobile which utilise much higher frequencies and are less prone to spatial interference, but it should be noted all equipment is subject to conductive interference, which can be mitigated with filtering.

Re: GEA TEST

@iangilf 

While there may have been a power issue, I would expect the cabinets, which contains electronic equipment ( as opposed to the PCP which usually does not) to have protection.

Is your phone line overhead or underground?

Do you have a UPS to stabilise the voltage and protect your equipment?

Do you have any filtering to reduce conductive interference?

Are any VDSL extension using the correct shielded cables to prevent radiated interference?

Interference is not predictable, as stated previously, things fail.

REIN, of which I experienced in my street (not caused by me) is difficult to track down.

These are all things to consider when you have unexpected outages, and are outside of the ISP's control.

Re: GEA TEST

Mate this ain't the first time this has happened if u go threw my past experience here u will see this has happened before and it has been resolved at the cab due to bt equipment as I said nothing has changed inside the premise I been using the Internet as far back as adsl and the 56k modem I do know when the same issue has happened before .I appreciate your help and I'm not dismissing it but the questions you are asking me are a bit over the top as I said straight after the power outages in the area it started playing up its defiantly got nothing to do with the equipment inside of the property I will report it as a fault today and will ask for an engineer to come on Friday when I'm next off and I will ask him to check what he needs to check at the cab ....
