The broadband has never been great since day one. First 2 weeks after initial connection were terrible until I binned the rubbish supplier router and swapped it for an Openreach modem and an ASUS router.
Things stabilised and I lived with the relatively low speeds.
However now it's nothing but dropouts almost every time I use the internet. The final straw was today watching the England game, about 3 times during the game the connection dropped. Not happy!
This cannot be normal.
Also while we're at it what happened to the improved upload speeds we were promised, mines hardly increased at all?
At my previous address I had normal broadband with Plusnet and it was fantastic. This all singing all dancing Fibre is a massive disappointment.

I was suffering from the very same for months; download speed was >25mbps but the connection would drop up to 11 times a day but then be stable for days on end.
OR finally sent a multi-skilled (?) engineer out to me who did a "lift and shift" on my connection which I gather involved taking my BB connection and moving it to a totally new one. This seems to have solved the disconnection problem but I am now stuck with a speed of 5mbps !
The words frying pan and fire come to mind.
Perhaps I would be better reverting back to plain ADSL.

However I can see from your connection log that the connection has been dropping in the evening:

As for dropping in the evenings, that's usually when I use the internet.
As soon as I start using it that's when the issues start.

Hi @ashyt16,
Thank you for confirming that the connection drops occur when you start using the internet - that indicates a potential underlying connection issue.
If the troubleshooting checks don't resolve this, please report a fault here and let us know when you've completed it, we'll then be able to investigate this further for you.
